This is a very useful term, and it's about time someone came up with it.
The term is, as follows:
BANWAP
Which stands for "Bare-Assed Naked Weight After Poo."
Thanks, Dano!
I have always used my BANWAP, but it's nice to have a term for it. Jam it in your lexicon now.
Biggest Loser is getting very interesting finally. I'll get my thoughts down soon, I promise.

Week 83. Pretty much the same as Week 82.
Starting weight: 264.2
Weight last week: 227.0
Current weight: 227.0
Lost this week: 0.0*
Total lost to date: 36.8
Weight remaining to lose: 47 pounds
The fact that I lost nothing this week, added to the fact that I wanted nothing more right this morning than to take a nap and get Chinese Food, is not helping me be motivated..
I went to the gym instead, mind you, but I'd still like the Tso's, you know?
It was back to crappy disco music, but I persevered. Why is the music so loud when it's so bad? I just don't get it! Fortunately I had the G.I. Joe Review Podcast to listen to.
Why, yes, I am a colossal nerd, thanks for noticing!
Another thing, if you have a movie schedule for the movie room at the gym, why not stick to it?
When a man goes expecting the cinematic masterpiece** that is The Cannonball Run, I do not expect something some inferior Ladder 49***!
I mean, come on!
I also forgot my new girdle, and yeah it's a lot different working out without one, mainly due, I think, with the umbilical hernia I have. I busted my old one, and I'll tell you what, I'll say it again: do NOT buy the ones at Five Below. I love the store and have tons of other products from there, but I'd avoid the Waist Trimming Belts were I you...
*aside from how that looks kind of like an owl, I don't like to see that.
** yes, I'm serious. I love that movie almost indecently!
*** I have no idea if Ladder 49 is a bad film or not. There's very few movies that could have replaced CR with where I would be satisfied truth be told. At least in the sense where I can jump in and out and still enjoy the movie.

Music makes a big difference...
The gym had the following stuff on the radio today*:
Rush (one of the few songs I like)
Dio
Black Sabbath
Van Halen
Guns n Roses
Judas Priest
some more I can't remember
and Grim Freakin' Reaper**!!!
Then, the elastic belt I wear to keep in my belly, erm I mean my body heat, broke. Fooey. This is why you don't buy it from Five Below and you spend the extra $5 at Target. I seriously got like 5 uses out of it. I used the one from Target for a couple months before it wore out.
I also burned my wrist on our toaster oven. I have burned my hands half a dozen times in the three weeks we have had it. I think it's out to get me.
*XM Radio
** and I know what you're thinking and it wasn't. It was "Rock You to Hell."

I took a good, critical look at myself today*...
...naked.
And I owe my wife an apology. Also to any neighbors who may have seen too much at any point in the last 10 years.
Sorry about that, really. I'm getting this straightened out now. :)
* I was going to say I took a "long, hard" look at myself, but I know the kind of tomfoolery that sort of post will encourage.

Week 82- Slow and steady again.
Starting weight: 264.2
Weight last week: 228.6
Current weight: 227.0
Lost this week: 1.6
Total lost to date: 36.8
Weight remaining to lose: 47 pounds
OK, all things considered, I'm not going to complain about this one at all. I have to get the momentum up though if I am going to come near my goal, however.
Was feeling pretty crummy this morning so I ended up taking a nap. I almost never nap during the day, even when I am feeling under the weather. However, I do love a good nap, so I got the couch ready and turned on the fan. I then put on Doctor Who- The Hand of Fear, set it for "commentary*" and within minutes I was out like a light.
I woke up totally disorientated and amazed that it was two hours later, but man, did I feel great!
I'm gonna try and go to sleep a little early tonight, because I am going to be a busy beaver tomorrow and there will be NO time for napping!
*this is not to say I normally do not like the commantaries, because I do, and this one has Tom Baker and Lis Sladen and is great fun, but if I am tired, the friendly english voices send me straight to the land of nod

I am awesome at making excuses...
and remarkably shitty at making any progress.
Story of my life, and I need to rewrite it now.

Unlike the stock market, I'm anticipating some big gains tomorrow...
Went to Big Ed's Ribs today fopr lunch and I am paying in spades. I'm gassier than the Hindenburg.
Ugh. Well, I danced and now I pay the fiddler.

Ah, good. We've had enough of this balmy 40 degree weather...
...so it looks like it's gonna effin snow tonight.
I blame myself, because yesterday I thought "Man, I should really get the cars washed..."
Some randomness:
1) The McChicken on the dollar menu seems to be a bad thing. I mean as far as I am concerned specifically and for the world at large.* Talk about temptation. I dunno really why, but it's been nagging me lately.
2) 2.5 pounds over the entire Holiday eating season is pretty damn good. It's a setback, but it should only hold me back a week or so.
3) Everywhere I go lately is Chinese Food places with deals. Alright, China, I get it, your food is nummy! I am resisting though, because I can. Because I have to!
4) the microwave crapped out last night. Macy's has a shitty selection and they are over-priced. I only wnet there as we have some store credit, not because I'm a big fan of Macy's. As a matter of fact, I actually kind of hate the joint, due mostly to snooty salespeople.
I ended up getting one @ Target that was a brand I'd heard of and it was $70 dollars cheaper than the one at Macy's which was kind of shady looking.
Then again, Macy's carries a toaster oven priced at $400, so what the frig do I know?
5) Man, The Biggest Loser was pretty good this week. I don't know anyone's name other than I think the really big dude is named Mike. Mike is 52o-something pounds at the get-go and all I could think was "how does he get anywhere?" How does the human body carry 500+ pounds?
The short answers are "not well, " and "not for too long."
I'll get to more of this later, I gotta go out.
* Pun semi-intended.

Week 80- About 4 dollars worth...
Starting weight: 264.2
Weight last week: 224.5
Current weight: 226.5
Lost this week: +2.0
Total lost to date: 37.3
Weight remaining to lose: 46.5 pounds
...or about 2 pounds. see it's a joke, where I was using a unit of weight, but the British call their money Pounds, and I converted it into dollars. Ah, lemme be.
Well, once I shake this cough, it'll be back on the horse full bore.

In further praise of ALDI
Praise be to the gods on Mount ALDI!
Some seasonal Fit and Active items have returned!
Turkey Burgers!
Lite Cranberry Grape drink!
Multigrain Waffles!
and a new item, Grilled Chicken Bites! Like nuggets, only not horrendously bad for you! If ALDI was a woman, I'd give her a great big smooch!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
45.5 pounds to go, 8 months to do it.
This is not an impossible task. 5 pounds and change a month for 8 months? This can be done, but we must remain diligent, and we are strapped in for the ride.
So, stay tuned as I resolve to update more often, do some promised food reviews and give you a look at some tools that you* can use to spruce yourself up at home, in case you can't get to, or are too embarrassed** to go to the gym.
Anyhow, I ate the hell out of some Tso last night, and that's that for that, if you know what I mean. Gonna try and not have any more for as long as I can. If I can make it to my Birthday, maybe I'll give myself a treat of some sort.
OK, let's get this year going!
*yes, you!
** I'll be addressing this one as well.
