Wow, I feel like it has been a long week but only because we have been so busy since Friday, a good busy that is! I couldn't wait until the end of the week to do a blog because this is one night that I don't ever want to forget! It was magical..to me anyway! Dan got home from work I had some cookies on the cooling rack for him, andwe put them in the cookie jar and started making dinner together, with the iPod on the dock in the kitchen we made an amazing dinner together, more of Dan doing the cooking because I was holding Kypton, butI was getting everything out and cleaning it up as he went and putting things away...it was great team work, but it was so fun with the music playing we sang and Kypton and I danced...it was so simple but so much fun. Dan said he wished babies knew what was really going on so they could remember what we had done, and I said, "that's why we need to take lots of photos and videos and I will blog so that we canmake a book and show him." That's as good as it will get.
Kypton, tired after the kitchen dance party!
Little man sleeping while I get my Phase 1:Day 1 workout in...
Doing P.I.N.K. was something I wanted to do in order to get in shape and be healthy, but I really think it has been more and it's only been 5 days. We cook meals together and they are healthy, we have tried so many amazing new things we never would have tried on our own. I mean for real beets and carrots in a drink, kale in a drink it's crazy. Some things turned out really well like the AMAZING dinner we had tonight that we both said we could eat every night, to the nasty soup I made the other night (Carrot and Cauliflower) however, I now know how to make baby food lol. The first drink I had was NASTY but the last two I have made I really like. Dan even jumped in on my protein the other night and made himself a shake. So, like I said we spend more time in the kitchen together, and yes it takes a lot longer to plan out meals but its fun knowing that we are healthy and that we enjoy cooking TOGETHER!
Here are some photos of dinners and drinks from P.I.N.K the last few days =)

P.I.N.K drink #2.. beets, carrots, spinach, almond milk, protein, dates, strawberries...
Baked Chicken and the NASTY soup...aka baby food =(
Needless to say things are off to a wonderful start, however, I have the support of family so that helps, my mom helps me stick to what I can eat when we go out...typically a salad with fat free dressing on the side nothing but grilled chicken and veggies on top, and Dan has been amazing at home being a great sport in trying new things and actually eating with me, and he makes my shakes every now and then..couldn't ask for better support. I'm down 3 lbs since I started 5 days ago, the program has a restart based on weight and height it can go from 3 days to 14..I only had to do 3 days, and during that time you aren't allowed to workout, so because I was working out everyday I had to take the last three days off and now today I got to start back up again, so hopefully the weight will come off a little easier. I went for my check up at the doc at 8 weeks post birth and since then I was allowed to workout and had lost 6 pounds in that one week just from working out, so hopefully thats a sign that it will be easier to drop the weight with these workouts, todays totally kicked my booty =)
Hope everyone is having a great week so far, halfway to the weekend tomorrow!
Love from the Buchholz's
