All About Maggie

Hi, I'm Maggie. 

I'm 23 and live in the beautiful Torquay in Devon.

This is my first time starting a blog and I'm really excited and enthusiastic.

I have been with my partner, Gary, for a couple years now and we love going on holiday. We have visited Egypt (pictured left), Majorca and Lanzarote (pictured right) and in January we can add Mexico to that list. We also like our little trips away to places like St Ives (pictured bottom), Newquay, Bath, Bristol, Bournemouth and Winchester. 

We want to make the most of life and see as much of the world as we can. 

Gary is a trainee assistant manager at a hotel, he has moved his way up from being a luggage porter. He is a great source of inspiration to me and I am really proud of him.

In 2012 I graduated with an honours degree in English and Creative Writing. 

Unfortunately I couldn't get a job relating to my degree so I stayed at Sainsbury's, who I had been working for before and during university. Luckily, it led me to pharmacy and I wouldn't change a thing.

I currently work as a pharmacy assistant in Sainsbury's and absolutely love it. Any job where I can help people and constantly learn is perfect for me. I'm trained on the counter and in the dispensary and can't wait to carry on with the technician training. I am currently doing AS level Human Biology which I believe will aid me immensely with any future training.

I am trying to lose weight at the moment and get back into exercising, which I also loved when I was younger. I have a personal trainer and have been trying to alter my diet since April. Unfortunately I am a fussy eater and love food and eating out. I can also get bored very quickly of eating the same food every day. 

I am determined to get back into shape and I'm hoping this blog will help me. I am going to be honest with my posts and hopefully the shame of saying I've eaten badly will put me back on the right track. I want to look as good as I did back in 2007, I have already lost a stone and a half but I still want to lose a couple more stone.

I have started this blog to get back into writing. When I was little I was always writing, constantly thinking up new ideas and I miss that. I want to combine the skills I learnt at university and the creativity from when I was young to become a passionate and decent writer.
