I Hate Plateaus

Growing up in West Virginia and spending a lot of time on those thar hills, I discovered that a plateau is a landing, or a short interval in the ascent or descent of the hill.  One could get on a plateua and walk around the hill without much effort.  The problem is that you don't usually don't go down or up.  In fact, you end up going in circles. 

I was rejoicing earlier this week because I'd lost down to the 220s.  In fact, I was down to 229.0.  However, for the past 3 days I've been holding at 229.4 lbs.  I don't like that.  Unfortunately, my shedule this week is such that I haven't been able to do the kind of workout that I want to do.  In fact, if I get to run on the treadmill at all today, it will not be until after 10 pm. 

I know that if I stay the course I will break through this plateau, but I love seeing the weight drop each time I get on the scales.  So far, the best exercise I've found for shedding pounds is walking/jogging up and down Stone Mountain.  Sadly, it takes about 30 minutes each way to get to the mountain, so it isn't as convenient as I wish it was.  Still, I plan to walk it Sunday afternoon.  In the meantime, I'll be watching my caloric intack since I'm limited in my exercise regiment for the next couple days.
