Yeah good point. Forget about the desert factor. I just imagine Perth being 20 during the day and it being awesome to train in.
Canberra would be the worst no doubt. It's bad in Melbourne at the moment but still 4-8 overnight which isn't too bad.

i need to stop eating the icecreams ... but im not ready mentally to go all in on protein, just yet. I dread eating a whole chicken a day .. nothing is quite as intimidating to think about doing that day in day out .. lol. i can promise to stop eating sweets tho?

lol .. icecream is good .. i think i can make it work pschologically when im either gaining weight or maintaining. good hard training session followed by a bowl of icecream is no problem. but being in a state of being unsatisfied with my bw .. it's not helping things at all

man i love ice cream.. but i actually don't miss it - haven't had it in a while. I think what I don't miss the most about it, is the sugar crash I get from it. I can't eat a small amount. I basically have to down a pint. That seems to be the only thing keeping me from eating it now.. so I don't crave it as much anymore, because of that.

Ice cream is my favorite food.  By far.  Really gotta avoid it get lean but to stay alright I find the trick is just not to buy it and bring it home.  Buying quarts of ice cream is just a recipe so I will stand just just having a few spoonfuls with the freezer open and eat about 1000 calories...

Luckily (or unluckily) there is a really great ice cream place right next to my house - my balance is to eat ice cream from there... A double scoop is probably around 400 calories but it's finite and it's delicious and then its gone....  Bring it home and that discipline is just not natural...

Lol .. we got an icecream recovery support group going ... nice. My fav is cookies and cream by streets, they had it at $4.95 for 2L at the major supermarketchains in AU for a while. I cant find it any my local coles anymore and since i dont shop at whoolies, ive gone without it for a year or so. I cud sit down and eat the whole thing in one sitting. I think my record is 2 in one night. I ate 4L of icecream in a night.. no wonder im fat. I dont bring tubs home anymore .. i know how that ends. So instead i bring home 4 packs of magnum, usually almond which is my fav by far. The calories are pretty high tho cos they have more fat but at least the damage is capped. I have been icecream free for 1 day so far. If i can get that to 10 days, i'll prob have some body comp changes to report. Have more room to improve from there too ..

One think i really miss from the states is the amazing frozen yoghurt places ...we dont get those here. I'd kill for some nice toasted cocounut but the aussie flavours are just meh .. they dont do it for me at all

BW: 78.4kg / 172.8lb

Have gym and bball game today. This shud get me a little leaner .. i wanna get back into the 77kgs asap .. that felt progressive unlike being in the 78kgs. Bball is the missing thing though, when im balling regularly it gets me leaner and fitter and i desperately need that after the sickness induced layoff. if i cant get it from bball i need to restart the sprints .. or both really, but im grossly unsatisfied with everything. my lifts, my conditoning, athleticism, name it. The only thing going for me right now is being kinda light but even that's threatening to disappear if i dont start eating cleaner..

BS 6x115(LPR), 1Fx125
OHP 4x52.5(LPR)

BW: 78.4kg / 172.8lb

Notes:
Proper 6RM effort with that warmup LPR .. even good morning the 6th. Awesome. Stalled the double at 125kg, lost it forward out of the bottom ..that sucks, will try again saturday. Shud get 6x117.5kg and 2x125kg LPRs .. but it makes it intimidating to think i cud progress from there considering i'm so far from 2x130 and 2x140 and cutting is going to make things super hard from here. Sucks.

Game was good. We won easy. i got some sick blocks. That elite rim protection!!  :headbang: didnt score but didnt take any FGAs so it's moot. Starting to feel it, was able to dunk today after like 2 week break... woooho. Just need to diet off the last 1.5kg of adipose and get my squat up by 15kg. Easy! Then i can peak and PR my vert ...

BW: 78.9kg (yikes)

Have been sweets free for 2 days in a row. Tryna get that to 10...

Pretty sore today .. took a good hit to my left elbow yesterday warming up against someone by playing 1v1. it's pretty tender today, hope it heals quickly.

Have got asked to play for a (good) team in sept. Will try to get myself in shape by then, i wanna get off to a flying start and cement my place as a key player / starter. That's exciting. Need to be in good shape before that, so im just working on skills closer to game 1

BW: 77.9kg 

back under 78 for the first time since getting sick. thougth i was at 79kg given the last week's readings but there ya go. It means i have one kilo less than i thought i had to lose.....

was thinking bout goals, and if im maintaining 79kg it means i need to -4kg adipose and +5kg lbm to end up at a lean and strong 80kg which is my end goal. If it's more like -3kg that makes the job easier... but not really, im gna have to dig deep to get to 77kg.
