My goodness, it was busy! After the trustee meeting last night, I was absolutely shattered — but I still managed to get up early for my walk. That small act of commitment set the tone for the rest of the day.

Today was mostly about catching up on admin and tidying up loose ends, but we still had a few walk-ins at the centre, reminding me how unpredictable (and rewarding) our work can be. This evening was spent at the Foodbank, supporting residents across the borough, it’s always humbling to be part of such important community work.

Even with the long day, I stayed fully on plan. Lunch ended up being a spontaneous swap, the chippy won over the café, it’s funny how our bodies crave stodgy carbs over a healthy salad when we are tired; but I made it fit within my Syns and felt completely satisfied.

Reflections
It’s been one of those days where determination meets discipline. Even when tiredness creeps in, having a plan keeps me grounded. Choosing balance over indulgence isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it. Today’s small wins, early walk, on-plan meals, and meaningful community service , are the kind that build real, lasting change.
