Small Personal Celebration
I managed to rip my favourite pair of trousers on the back of my bicycle pedal (lol, I wrote peddle) a couple of weeks ago, so much so that they only thing they'll be good for now is turning into scruffy lounge-about-the-house shorts.
I went to buy a new pair yesterday, but the closest match I could find weren't available in my normal size. They only had them in a size smaller, or two sizes bigger. I didn't have time to try the trousers on because I had a bus to catch (which I missed anyway, but we won't get in to that) so I bought the smaller pair figuring I could return them next week because they undoubtedly wouldn't fit.
Turns out that walking to and from work has done me good, and the smaller size fits me perfectly. I almost feel like I should eat a big slab of cake to celebrate :P
(On an unrelated note, the super cache plugin seems to be interfering with my feed; please bear with me while I get everything sorted.)

Woot! Go Jem! I am jealous of you now that you are all buff. :P
If you eat that big slab of cake, you won't be able to fit the smaller size anymore. :P What to do, what to do...
YAY for cake! You really should make some. :) My feed only shows this one post under it, if that's of any help? XD
^ No contest, Amanda ;)
I'm jealous... :P
Nice one, Jem! :) If only I could have a job to walk to so I can lose my masses of flab. XD
*claps* Go JEM! Indeed losing weight and fitting into smaller clothes is a brilliant feeling (I had it while in Greece - felt amazing). :D
Woo hoo! Congrats. It's always so weird when you put on a smaller pair of pants and they fit, and you didn't realize your old ones were too big.
I doubt *one* slice of cake will do that much damage. Could it?
mmm, cake
Good for you Jem! I still don't think you need to worry about your weight, you look just fine to me.
I'm not worried, it's coming off all by itself. I sure as hell haven't changed my eating habits :p
Yay for smaller pants! I've been doing so much trekking across my campus... 15 minutes walks every 50 minutes. I've been talking about how I need to get back to the gym and do some running or something to get my legs in shape, and then I looked at them in the mirror and realized all this walking up-hill has done me good!
Congratulations! I also had a surprise while shopping recently :)
Denim usually stretches after several washes. :P So I'd guess that you may still be able to fit into those jeans after a big slab of cake!
Speaking of which, I am still hunting around for a new pair of dark grey jeans especially since my my similar pair has sprung a hole out of nowhere recently. :( (Plus, I spilled curry on it, so there's a big fat yellow patch now.)
Is it just me who's having trouble imagining you on a bicycle?
Ohhh..that's cheeky..! I spent a good few days rebuilding both bikes!
Ugh, when I was in middle school, the fad was to wear big wide-leg pants. Try riding a bike with *those* on. They were always getting caught in the gears.
Oh good for you!
Now I really hope I could make the same kind of celebration. :(
Whoo! Good for you, Jem! :)
Woo! Conbobulations!
"the super cache plugin seems to be interfering with my feed" is that why you lost weight? lol...
Oh no! That is truly unfortunate. I wish a favourite pair of pants/jeans lasted forever. My wonderful pair just ended up being overwashed so I can't wear them in fear of them falling apart.
Lucky you for finding a suitable replacement! It's hard to find a pair that will rival your worn and washed favourite.
Awesome blossom! I love little surprises like that.
