WORSHIP SONG:

Do Life Big - Jamie Grace

5 GRATITUDES (Thank you, Heavenly Papa!):

THOUGHTS:

• Tried to teach the kids how to work out trigger points and doing some foam rolling for the quads and IT bands.  A challenge.
• My husband had a phone interview today with a company in CO.  This was set up by a recruiter.  The company did provide feedback after the interview and they decided my husband was not a good fit for their company.  At least there is closure and quick closure for this company, so that is good.  We are just counting this as one step closer to being hired by the right company.

Notes:  This was a good workout.  I did standing jack knifes instead of lying due to my nausea issues.  And whenever Zuzka placed her hands on the ground to support her, I put my hands on an upside down Bosu to give me more instability in my exercise, causing me to need to stabilize my core more.
