Default My Shinguard straps fit

Ok, so I knew that I said my next minigoal would be when I hit 270, but today I noticed something happen that just a few weeks ago wouldn't happen. I play soccer twice a week on a women's league and bought some new shinguards in the beginning of the season (early April...kinda when I joined 3FC). I was in need since my loving dog thought my old shinguards made a great chew toy. Anyway, shin guards come in youth and adult. They vary a bit more in size based on the style (S,M,L) I think I got an adult L because its was the biggest I could find. The first time I put them on I notice that I couldn't get the strap around the top of my calf without it basically cutting off circulation and being super uncomfortable. So for the beginning of this season I have been depending on my socks to just keep them in place and tucking in the strap. This morning I just happened to pull the strap around my leg out of force of habit and to my surprise it went all the way around and comfortably. It was early and I was still pretty groggy, but I did clench my fist in a pump and say "Yessss." This was a pretty nice non scale victory. With that said. I am happy that I can make more runs in my games since I am 31 lbs lighter
