    How Far Along Are you: Almost 27 weeks!
    Questions?: None this time.
    Week's Successes/Challenges: Little meh this past week. We camped over memorial day weekend and so of course I ate like crap since we grilled brats and burgers.. Paid for it by feeling like shit though, so I'm cleaning it up this week. Had a great, pain free run on Tuesday though.
    GTKY: Will/Do you put any restrictions on your children's screen time? Absolutely yes. I don't think all that tv/phone/ipad time is healthy (for kids or adults). I will definitely be making her read, play with toys, and play outside.

    How Far Along Are you: 30 weeks and 3 days

    Questions?: nada

    Week's Successes/Challenges: Actually had an awesome run this morning! Just under a 10 minute mile for half an hour. That was the highlight this week, in addition to 4 other cardio days and 2 strength training.

    GTKY: Will/Do you put any restrictions on your children's screen time? Absolutely. We don't own a TV, so there won't be any danger of LO sitting in front of one. I'd also like to model good behavior by H and I using smart phones only when needed, and we won't give LO a tablet or the like until they are older.

    How Far Along Are you: 30 Weeks, 3 Days
    Questions?: none this week
    Week's Successes/Challenges: Last week we were on vacation in Chicago, so no workouts per say, but we did a TON of walking (close to 35 miles over the whole week).  The walking was fine, but the standing in the museums got hard for me, and I got swollen ankles on the last day of the trip, so I skipped out on a few things that day.  Since getting back from vacation I have had a few really good CrossFit workouts.  One was completely modified from the group WOD, I did light dumbbell hang cleans and really low box step ups, then I did my own workout one day of 21-15-9 elevated pushups, light back squats, and lunges.
    GTKY: Will/Do you put any restrictions on your children's screen time? Yes, not much TV (I never watched TV as a kid, and don't watch it much now).  We want our kids to be computer literate early on for sure, but we also want them to spend time outside, read books, and know how to entertain themselves with paper and crayons.  Also (more for when they are older) only playing on their phase when appropriate, i.e. not at the dinner table or when out with other people.
