21 Day Weight Loss Challenge- Journal day 17 #21mbc

>
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.
