Last Call from the Sky Club
Starting Day 3 of a biological reset
Today is Day 3 and I have not made a break to the local market for a giant Swiss Toblerone bar.
Yesterday was rough. Headache. Fog. Fatigue. Anxiety stemming from nothing and everything. I did not even pass the stress test. I have to retake it this afternoon.
Today feels clearer. Not easy. Just clearer.
What feels like three days ago, I wrote this from the Sky Club with a glass of champagne one decision away. Time has felt distorted since.
And yes, I ordered it.
When Delta One offers champagne, warm cookies, and the full send before takeoff, I am not above participation. I took full advantage of every mile saved that earned me that seat.
Because I knew what was coming.
By the next morning, alcohol was gone. Caffeine gone. Sugar gone. Salt gone.
I did not want to arrive in the Swiss Alps pretending I was already disciplined. I wanted to arrive honest. And honestly, prosecco and overindulgence have been on the menu since we celebrated our wedding in December.
I found this wellness clinic a year ago. Or maybe it found me.
It sits quietly in the mountains not far from where my daughter was living at the time. When I discovered it, something in me exhaled. I had been searching for a reset for a long time, but for many reasons, I did not allow myself to take it.
The setting is beautiful. The experience is not a vacation.
I call it a biological car wash.
For seven days:
No salt. No caffeine. No alcohol. No refined sugar.
Small portions. Strict schedule. Treatments designed to shock the body into cellular repair.
Day 1, the body protested. Day 2, it negotiated. Day 3, it recalibrates. I am only just beginning.
On Sunday, I will share the deeper why. How I landed here a year ago. And what pulled me back to these mountains again.
For now, I am staying the course.
With determination,
Leslie
If you’ve ever hit a wall mid-reset leave a comment, I’d love to know what Day 3 looks like for you.
How many times have we been in that club together forcing that bad stuff down!! Enjoy!! Wish I were there!
Good on you! Alcohol is so damn bad for us and you know what? Quitting THAT is easy when you pay attention to the science ….coupled with everything else though, that would be hard! You are going to feel so great! Chin up! When I waver or wonder I think again about how my decision making abilities are more clear and how proud I am of myself for saying no! It’s such a great feeling.
