I earnt my ‘mummy wings’ this weekend. I actually discovered I might be ok with a baby if I should ever be lucky enough to have one. Mind you, Edie was a dream child. Hardly cried, liked her routine, slept through the night… Perhaps she was leading me into a false sense of security!

It’s halfway through Bikewise month and you’ll be happy to know, I’m back on the bike! I’m mostly healed from my ridiculous and embarrassing crash, but my ego will forever be bruised. I’ve been quite nervous getting on again because I feared I’d discover I’m absolutely incompetent, but I’m happy to report there is a Sarah Ulmer in me just dying to get out! I bought some fingerless gloves (at the suggestion of the people who’s house I crashed outside of), put my new helmet on and off I went. Keeping off the roads at this point, I managed to weave my way around the park a few times, avoiding pedestrians and kids kicking balls around. It felt great to have the breeze in my face and to be sucking on the fresh summer air. My butt is numb and my thighs a little tight but it feels good! I’m going to bike every day for the rest of the month as I originally planned. Hopefully Dom can get his bike fixed and we can all go out together. Awww!
Dom, Mike & I got a bit of press this weekend. Dom was referenced on the front page of the Herald on Sunday about his suspension from work last Tuesday for his Alison Mau jingle, Mike was interviewed about high profile gay people being outed or coming out of the closet (like he did) and Dom and I were announced as the 2nd sexiest couple in NZ according to the annual Durex sex survey!
HAHAHAHAHA!! OMG, LMFAO. Unbelievable. I have never thought of me or us as ‘sexy’ before so I should be flattered… but I find it hysterically funny.

Maybe my new-found sex appeal is due to Jenny Craig. I finished up today, had my final weigh in and I am stoked to say I have lost 8kgs! I started on 69.6kgs and today I am 61.7. It has been a challenge for me and my social job because every single social occasion involves food and booze! But I have done well overall. I have lost almost two dress sizes and feel better all round. Mostly losing heaps of flab around my middle. The less fat you have there, the better chances for IVF so that was my goal. I start that again really soon.
My before and after shots don’t look too different but in person it’s more noticeable. My boobs have shrunk from 14DD to 12D, my stomach is flat, my thighs and arms and lost a few cms and my face is leaner. So many people have commented. And I don’t feel sluggish anymore. I feel energized and healthy. Thank you JENNY CRAIG!!!
