HELP me decide... interuptioon maybe?!

Emi · 10-15-2010, 09:47 AM

I'm on P3 day 3. My plan was to cycle back to P2 on Nov 1, making Halloween a load day because we are having a Halloween party. I was going to do the round until before Thanksgiving, so I would be in P3 for Thanksgiving. PERFECT RIGHT!!! WELL, my perfect plan just ran into a snag

... I am going on a girls weekend the 6 and 7th of November.

My options:

Follow my plan and do an interuption that weekend (never interupted but it sounds scarey, also I didn't want to wait this long to go back on P2)

OR

Start on the 8th and do an interuption for Thanksgiving, as Thanksgiving comes before day 21. (If I do this Halloween will not be load and we are having a party ... that will be tough to stay on the straight!)

Which option sounds better and are there anyother options!?!?! I'm pretty strong at following protocol, I went on a camping vacation in my first round for a week and totally stayed on protocol ... I just know the girls weekend and Thanksgiving are a bit too much temptation!!!

Thanks for any advice my fellow Hcg'ers!

Well, that is a dilema!! Since you don't have 21 days between the times you want to eat off plan you're somewhat limited in your options.

Are you doing the hHCG? If so you have more flexibility, from what I understand. What type of indulgences are you planning? More along the lines of P3, or full blown P4? And how long was your last round of P2? I see you've only been in P3 for a few days.

I do hHCG and my understanding is that b/c it doesn't have the immunity issues the Rx does I can cycle back and forth between P2 and P3 without load days and P4 maintaining. If that's your situation, you could go back and call any of your "breaks" and interruption and just accept the scale will be up a bit. Mane folks are doing restarts, so even if you've only been on plan for a week or so and your party happens (or whatever you'll be doing) then you can just brush yourself off and get back to business.

However you look at it, if you're planning ahead and know that the scale will go up when you choose off-plan foods you should do fine.

I know this coming month will be too hard for me to stick to P2 so I went back on this month, and hope to be lower by the time my company comes and I have 2 weeks of travel, entertaining and holidays. Best of luck!

Jullie, thanks so much for the response! I did rx the first round and I'm going to try hhcg this round!

If I do an interuption do I stop taking the drops before the actual day and than start again that day ... anyone anyone?!?!?!

Anyone else have any ideas!?!?!
