Is Mumbo Eating Well?

This past year hasn't been great for my diet and my fitness.
Every night I will post either yes or no, the no followed by all the junk that caused the no 🍫🎂🍩

The amnesia that comes with terrible food is remarkable. I woke up this morning feeling awful and never wanting to eat like that again. By 1pm I wanted all the same foods and more.

The human mind is baffling.

Quite remarkably I have managed to keep it together and not turn my 1 day binge into a spiral. Huge personal achievement 🎉

Day 13(?)
Weight: n/a
Lost: ~9lbs
Exercise: dog walks
Calories: 1580
Mood: 5/10 because every fibre of my body wants more junk food 😂

@kir10226028 While I’m eating it yes, afterwards no 🤢

[Is Mumbo Eating Well? @MumboFoodDiary]

Weight: 257.4
Lost: 9.2lbs
Exercise: dog walks
Calories: A pizza and ice cream and caramel nibbles 😩
Mood: 2/10 - just woke up not feeling it at all today.

[Is Mumbo Eating Well? @MumboFoodDiary]

I definitely saw this one coming.

I got increasingly lax on my calories, and even though I was doing mad exercise stints and burning huge amounts of calories, old compulsive eating habits were coming back in.
Waking up feeling rubbish opened the door to a binge.

Tomorrow 🥗💪

@Pollen004 I just hop on and ride! Try to not think about how far I have to go and enjoy the journey haha

Day 11
Weight: 258.4lbs
Lost: 8.2lbs
Exercise: 58KM bike ride + dog walks
Calories: ~3000 (ate at a restaurant again 💸)
Mood: 10/10

[Is Mumbo Eating Well? @MumboFoodDiary]

Food was:

Some hummus and tortilla chips post bike ride as was hugely calorie depleted.

Beyond burger + chips
Garlic and herb flatbread
Coconut salted caramel slice

I apparently burned 6000kcal today so I think whatever I ate I am in the clear 😂

[Is Mumbo Eating Well? @MumboFoodDiary]

That 2500 was utter garbage though.

I look forward to my salads, bean burrito bowls and vegetable stir fry’s again 🤤

Day 10
Weight: 258.8
Lost: 7.8Lbs
Exercise: Walking about. Not much really
Calories: ~2500 as a guess again. Keep travelling and eating at places that don’t list counts!
Mood: 8/10 👍

Day 9
Weight: N/A (no scale in hotel!)
Lost: n/a
Calories: ~1500
Mood: 5/10

Weird day. Home late, no appetite.

[Is Mumbo Eating Well? @MumboFoodDiary]

Haven’t been to London since pre-COVID and the amount of good food places meant I gradually filled up. Hadn’t kept track, but looking back it was way more than I thought!

Oh well. Tomorrow’s a new day 💪

Day 8
Weight: 260.4lbs
Lost: 6.2lbs
Exercise: HARD 37KM bike ride with mad climbs + walking around London
Calories: ~4000+ (too much, but burned 5100)
Mood: 9/10

Day 7 🎉
Weight: 260.4lbs
Lost: 6.2lbs
Exercise: Just dog walks. Had too much to do!
Calories: 1839
Mood: 9/10 🎉

[Is Mumbo Eating Well? @MumboFoodDiary]

I am also noticing my appetite reducing quite a bit, and my aching cravings for high processed foods are slowly going.

I’m feeling stronger on my rides, and recovering quickly, energy levels are high. Definitely in a good place 💪

Day 6
Weight: 261.4
Lost: 5.2lbs
Exercise: 33KM bike ride + dog walk
Calories: 1620 (too low)
Mood: 9/10

[Is Mumbo Eating Well? @MumboFoodDiary]

Reason for the mad low calories is I ate a tonne of really fibrous healthy food, that isn’t that calorie dense. Huge salad bowl (I had to eat out of a mixing bowl) and a bean burrito bowl.

Even though I know I should eat more calories I can’t as I’m full 😂

Day 5
Weight: 263lbs
Lost; 3.6lbs
Exercise: 37KM fast bike ride + 2 dog walks
Calories: ~2500 (estimate because ate at a restaurant that doesn’t list calories)
Mood: 10/10 💪

[Is Mumbo Eating Well? @MumboFoodDiary]

Also that sudden weight loss won’t stick around - it’s thanks to the decent length bike ride yesterday. I’m sure it will pop back up tomorrow as losing 3lbs in one days seems unlikely 😂

Every weight measurement is taken at the same time every morning 👍

Day 4
Morning weight: 261.8
Lost: 4.8lbs
Exercise: A few walks - nothing intense
Calories: 2400 🍝🥪 A little more than planned due to an accidental under estimate of a meal 🤷‍♂️
Mood: 8/10
