My first blog post!

Welcome to Happyrubberband! I have been waiting patiently to begin blogging, and now I have arrived. There are so many things I want to write about, but I'm going to start with something I view as clique, and I never thought I'd be one of those women who gives a crap about losing weight, yet here I am. I'm short...no....I mean, really short. 58 inches, 4 feet, 10 inches. I love being short. It's who I am. And until recently, I haven't had to even think about my wieght. Then I had my dear son, and I gained 30 pounds...pretty good. I wasn't upset by it. But the last 20 pounds are just hanging around. So I thought, maybe if I finally start a blog, I'll feel more accountable to losing the weight if other people are watching. I currently weigh 130 pounds, and I want to weigh 110 pounds. I know you're thinking...130 isn't a lot! But for my height, its considered overweight. Crazy, huh. So right now I have a gym membership at the Y, and I'm trying to not eat sweets. That's as far as I've gotten. I don't want to "diet". I just want to exercise and eat right. I'll post my progress, and hopefully get some input!
I do want to make it clear that I will not only be posting about losing weight. I have strong opinions about politics, religion, and all those things polite society isn't supposed to talk about. So more to come on that.
