Week 12 check-in: 18 lbs down, energy is finally back

Three months in on tirzepatide and I'm finally past the rough adjustment phase. Quick stats:

• Weight: 218 to 200, so 18 lbs total
• A1c: 6.8 to 5.9
• Resting heart rate dropped from 78 to 68
• Sleeping a full 7 hours most nights (used to be 5)

The weight loss has been slower than I hoped but the other changes are honestly more valuable. My doctor wants to keep me at 5mg for another month before increasing.

If you're in that miserable week 4 to 8 window, hang on. It gets better.
