I've been tweaking my morning routine ever since starting tirz 6 months ago and I think I've finally found what works. Curious what everyone else does!
Mine:
⏰ 5:45 — Wake up, immediately drink 16oz water with electrolytes (LMNT or homemade)
🧘 6:00 — 10 min stretching / light yoga (nothing crazy)
🚶 6:15 — 30 min walk with my dog (rain or shine, this is non-negotiable)
☕ 6:45 — Black coffee + 30g protein shake (Fairlife or Premier Protein)
💊 7:00 — Vitamins (B12, D3, magnesium, omega-3)
🚿 7:15 — Shower + get ready
The protein shake first thing was a game changer for me. I wasn't getting enough protein and my hair was thinning. Added the morning shake and it stopped within a month.
What's your routine?

I love this but I need you to know that my morning routine is:
⏰ 7:45 — alarm goes off
😴 7:45-8:15 — snooze button warfare
😤 8:16 — actually get up
☕ 8:17 — coffee (not black, I'm not a psychopath)
🫣 8:30 — remember I have a job
🏃 8:31 — panic
I am open to suggestions on how to become you 😂

I was literally you 8 months ago 😂 The secret was the dog. She forces me out of bed because she needs to pee. Accountability partner with four legs and zero respect for my sleep schedule.
But seriously — even just adding the water + electrolytes and protein shake to your existing chaos routine would be huge. You don't have to be a 5am person to take care of yourself!

My routine (5 months on sema):
5:30 — Wake up, cold shower (I know, I know, but it genuinely helps with the tirz fatigue)
5:45 — 20 min meditation (Waking Up app)
6:05 — Black coffee
6:15 — Gym (45 min, alternating strength/cardio)
7:00 — Protein smoothie: protein powder + frozen berries + spinach + creatine + collagen peptides
7:15 — Journal for 10 min (I track mood, appetite, side effects)
7:30 — Start work
The journaling has been huge for tracking patterns. I can see exactly how my appetite/energy changes through the week after injection. Data nerd things 📊

For my fellow "gentle start" people who can't exercise first thing because of GLP-1 nausea:
7:00 — wake up, no phone for first 30 min (this was HARD but worth it)
7:05 — warm water with lemon (easier on the stomach than cold water)
7:15 — gentle walk outside, even just 10 min. Sunlight in your eyes = cortisol wake-up signal
7:30 — small breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs + half an avocado. Sometimes just the eggs.
7:45 — vitamins with food (otherwise they make me nauseous)
8:00 — start day
The no-phone rule changed everything. I used to doom scroll for 30 minutes and start my day anxious. Now I start calm. Sounds woo-woo but the difference is real 📵
