So, here it is...day two of not smoking...
Well, I managed to wake up around 0500 this morning. I was beat last night, so I wasn't sure if I would be able to get up or not. I went over to the terminal and was able to have a chat with Meagan and Taylor. Taylor was excited to tell me about his day. When he asked me about mine, I really didn't have much of anything to talk about...so, that's about all we said! Meagan and I talked about the closing paperwork.
For some reason, which I don't understand, our escrow payment went up $35/month when we already have about $3,500 in escrow already. So, instead of our payment dropping, like we were told, it actually went up $16/month...even with 0.25% less in interest! I sent an email off, because I don't understand it. In the paperwork, it mentions something about $680 of escrow padding requested by the servicer. I am guessing, based on the extra escrow payments, we will be getting a refund from escrow early next year. We'll see...
After chatting, I headed back to the room to take a nap. I zonked out and actually didn't wake up until 1230 to head to lunch. So, I suppose my body needed a little more rest.
Lunch wasn't too bad. I had a Fitzpatrick sandwich (roast beef, peppers, and Swiss cheese), corn, and mashed potatoes. Not really the best combination, but I wasn't really interested in any of the other food. They had chicken tenders on the short order line and the line waiting for those was pretty long. So, I made do with what I could...still wan't bad!
After lunch today was probably the hardest craving I have had over the past 30 hours of not smoking. Seriously...I really, REALLY wanted to smoke; but, I can't. I just have to keep telling myself that...little steps turn into big miracles, right?
Went back to my room to work on studying for a bit before work. Was going to go check if my laundry was in yet, but lost track of time. So, I will have to do that tomorrow!
Got into work and not much was going on, so I decided to rework one of the spreadsheets we use for inventory. After all, I am an Excel ninja! ;) I got that all squared away and it makes it much easier for the supplier to see what we need...NOW! :) I was also able to go get my laundry, mail letters to Grandma and Joy, and get care packages from Joy and Meagan/kiddos! Lots of good stuff today! Joy's package had Halloween treats for all, so I started handing them out. Some of the guys got a kick out of it and a smile, so that's good! Thanks all around for all of the treats!
Dinner was ok...lasagna, spaghetti, and garlic bread. I had a peach for dessert...still NO sugar. So far, here's the count as of this update:
No sugar: 5 days
No soda: 4 1/2 days
No cigarettes: 39 hours
Now, I just need to get more consistent about gym time and work harder. I need to work on chest and core to lose more weight and trim up. Those two areas are really the only place I have any fat on my body...
Alright...back at the room for work and time for bed. Night all and God bless!
