Imagine waking up and your biggest worry isn't what's for breakfast, but whether you can out-strategize Ethan in morning chess. That's my reality now. Thanks to having professionals handle my meal preps, I've got the mental space to lose at chess—gracefully, mind you—and still conquer the boardroom later.
Lunch swings around, and instead of wolfing down last night’s questionable leftovers, I'm dining on a perfectly balanced plate of grilled salmon, sautéed greens, and a whisper of garlic aioli that even my foodie friends would envy. Dinner? A succulent piece of chicken, spiced to perfection, waiting for me after I wrap up my last meeting.
