I had another craving day....I am trying to figure out when it is that I really start craving the junk food and I think it is days when I am tired and not very active. The last couple times were pretty quiet days at my house and I was tired. I guess this is why journalling really helps. I normally write a little about my day, like how active I am or my mood. I noticed today that I was tired and just seemed like I wanted that "full" feeling and lunch didn't quite do it. While I did still eat more than necessary, I did at least stop myself from eating a bunch of chips. I grabbed a couple sunchips and quickly put the bag back knowing that wasn't what I was craving anyways. I was craving sweets. I did end up grabbing a blowpop out of my sons Valentines candy...and then I was good. Wondering what are others peoples thoughts....I was thinking of grabbing a bag of hard candies like life savers or jolly ranchers...so that if I get in the sweet mood I can suck on one piece of sweet candy. Do you think this is ok, or would it harm things. Should I just try to totally avoid the sweet cravings?
I wasn't very active today either. Kennedy wasn't feeling good again. She woke up a lot during the night stuffy, sneezing and coughing some. Then she was sleepy. It was so quiet around lunch time and that is when I felt the urges to eat. I was also tired, and it was so nice and quiet that I just ended up playing a couple shows that I had DVR'd.
I tried making up for it some this evening. I made sure not to eat anything after dinner...definitely didn't need anymore calories. I did some housework and got in a cardio workout. Hoping to stay busy tomorrow, although it will probably be quiet. Seeing I know it should be a quiet day, I think I am going to try to do the whole Challenge workout, but break it up and do half in the morning and half later.
