After taking some time to focus on my health and recovery, it felt amazing to be back out at The Security Event at the Birmingham NEC for Day 1.
Since December, I’ve been locked in on getting back to better health, eating better, watching what I eat, and slowly rebuilding myself properly. From 2026 onwards, I made a real commitment to putting my health first.
The funny part? My scale went from 15.89 stone to 15.20 stone recently, and I genuinely thought it was faulty because I didn’t think the results were actually showing 😂
But today, catching up with peers and familiar faces, one thing kept coming up:
“You look different / lost a lot weight (🙃👀)”
That meant a lot. Those boring meals wasn’t fun at all.
Sometimes you don’t realise progress is happening until the people around you remind you.
Being back in the room, reconnecting with the industry, and feeling like myself again was a blessing.
Day 1 was a great reminder: health first, purpose next, and the journey continues.
Back to life and ready to work 💪🏾🙏🏿
