While I tried to exercise at home, I was also eating more than the energy I was expending, because I was at home. I gained weight. Fast forward 2021, I went back to the gym, and struggled to do my favourite and effective exercise due to some pain. Still, I continued to lift weights etc. I cook my meals and eat fairly consciously. I also discovered powdered milk in 2020 and would use a 2.5kg tin for 3 to 4 months. In 2021 , I used one tin every month. I reluctantly stood on the scales one day and was shocked by what I saw. I was not losing much weight. Out of interest I happened to look at the tin of milk and noted that from drinking 7 to 10 cups of the lovely powdered milk tea with 2.5 to 3 heaped tablespoons a cup, I was consuming nearly a 1000 calories a day in the tea only some days. All this time, I was enjoying my cuppas and feeling accomplished with my exercise. As I had consciously made a decision to lose weight, this was a major breakthrough for me. I had a blind spot, a hindrance and obstacle. Something that I enjoyed, but was not in my best interest in large quantities. I am day 61 since this discovery. I still enjoy half a teaspoon of powdered milk added to my tea. I am also gradually losing weight with exercise and conscious eating. Find out your powdered milk today and either reduce it or take it off your diet. What is it that you might be enjoying that is harmful to your well-being? Time to reflect. Hope you have a lovely day!
