I've generally had an 8-5 career since graduating college in '94. Yet, here I sit in the parking lot at 6:45 am. No one else will get here till 7:30. I used to barely get to work on time when I was raising my kids but now I have so much extra time that I just come to the office. I don't know what else to do with my mornings.

I can't help but get up early and lately, it's been 445 and I'm wide awake. I try to lay in bed till 530 but still, I'm ready to go by 630. This has all kind of crept up on me over the past 5 years and it's getting earlier and earlier. I go to bed by 9ish if that helps any.

How early is everyone else getting to the office?

Edit to clarify: I'm not sitting in my car car for 45 minutes. I was just posting this morning as I was sitting there annoyed at how early it was.

I started Zepbound in May 2025. I just had my one year checkup and not only have I lost 53 pounds, but my Triglycerides went from 216 to 81! Blood pressure went from borderline high to normal and good cholesterol went from 14 to 43.

I'm not 100% sure what it all means, but looking at my score ranges going from red to green made me so happy. The doctor even said before the bloodwork "well, it's time to see if the meds are working or if genetics are working against you"

The meds are definitely working. Bad news of the day is I lost coverage. PA was denied. So, I'll be paying out of pocket.
