#ThickThighThursday

Daily Weight: 162lb

As you can see from my weekly weight log, I'm over 2lb down on last week which I'm really happy with. I'm hoping to be back under 160lb in the next week or so. I'm also hitting macro targets more closely too - see the green box? That means I've hit the range I'm supposed to be aiming for.

Motivation is at an all time high at the moment and I'm embracing it because as you know, motivation can come and go. When it goes, I stay consistent with my training, maybe relax the reigns on the eating a little and have faith, because it always comes back. Sometimes it just takes a little longer.

I had the best upper body training session last night, which included a new PR on my chin ups, performing 2 sets of 3 unassisted chins. Considering I'm still quite heavy I'm very pleased about this!

My upper body was so exhausted by the time I'd finished but I got a great pump going on :-)
