Let me introduce you to my two favorite things: intermittent fasting and weightlifting. I stumbled upon intermittent fasting a couple of years ago, and let me tell you, it changed my life! Pairing that with weightlifting has really transformed both my physical and mental strength. There’s something incredibly satisfying about pushing heavy weights while knowing I’m fueling my body wisely during my eating windows. It’s like a dance—balance, timing, and energy, all coming together for a healthier me. I just love that moment post-workout when I can savor my favorite meals guilt-free.

When I’m not in the gym or counting down to my next meal, you can usually find me jamming out to my favorite playlists or diving into a good fantasy novel. I’ve developed quite the obsession with collecting vinyl records, which means I can really get into the groove while I’m meal prepping. And let’s not forget my ongoing quest to master the art of making the perfect cup of coffee. If you have any tips, please share—I’m all ears! Life is all about balance, right? So, what’s your go-to way to unwind after a workout?
