The beginning.....

So here I am sat in my parents lounge at 8pm on a Friday night with absolutely nothing else to do.... for the rest of the weekend.

 I have a lovely boyfriend, a great family and a good job with great co-workers. But something is still missing. And I think its my friends, since moving across the country for work no less than 3 times in the last 12 months (Glasgow- Andover - London) I simply haven't seen my friends. There's been the occasional wedding or impromptu meet up because we're in the same city for work but we never have a spontaneous night out prompted by the "quick drink" after work. We never even seem to just grab a coffee. Unfortunately my closest friends all live in different cities these days. And I hate to repeat the cliche but London is lonely. And since I've also been living in a hotel for the past 19 months(!) I haven't even had a chance to travel up and stay with anybody!

So I've challenged myself to start a blog. But I have a few concerns.... Am I too old to blog? Too fat?
I am hoping that this blog will help motivate me to lose the weight I've put on in the last year and maybe by putting some of my feelings out here, I might start to feel a bit less lonely. Perhaps I can even regain some confidence and feel more motivated to make more of an effort to see my old friends.

So here we go...
