Can I get a "Re-do?!?"

I've been thinking this a lot lately. Every time I start on a path to wellness, something happens to knock me backwards 10 steps. I've not made a single ounce of progress

I began my juice reboot in the middle of me curiously getting sick every few weeks. The bouts with sickness kept getting more and more severe, until I ended up in the hospital having gallbladder surgery. Since then, I have been testing the waters of what I can eat, and have been amazed at finding I can now eat pretty much anything without feeling like junk immediately! And that is where my downfall has been. My body is no longer screaming out when loaded with junky foods.. Or is it?

Since my surgery, I've been unbearably tired. After realizing that it's probably due to lack of exercise, poor nutrition, and the gray time of year, I'm finally doing some forward thinking again. I have found that when you REALLY listen to the signals your body sends you, you can better serve it. Tonight after dinner I had some fat free frozen yogurt, and a Rice Krispie treat. Then I had an instant headache. I've learned that processed sugars cause me to have headaches. BAD ones! So time to get back to juicing and heal my body once and for all. I know how great I've felt after a few days doing a juice fast and I look forward to that again. Hopefully I won't be needing a "re-do" this time. :)
