Down Time and Real hcg Diet Injections

After returning from my trip, I came down with a nasty flu bug that was circulating our family.  We have 7 young children at home and 3 of those are school age.  After a week I discontinued the diet.  I felt like I didn't have the strength to fight this bug.  I have had a long HCG diet interruption. 

Additionally, I had become extremely hungry.  I assume because my drops were homeopathic and not real HCG.  I stayed off the diet during the Christmas holiday.  It took a couple of weeks, but I eventually overcame the sickness.  During this time I researched and came to the conclusion that I wanted the injectable HCG.  After all the goal is to exit this diet at my correct weight and in good health.  And to keep the weight off.

Even though I have eaten like a pig for the last few weeks, my weight has gone up, but not excessively.  I now weigh in at 182.  I received the HCG in the mail, but am waiting on the injection kit.  I'll start with loading days as soon as the kit arrives. (Can't wait!)

I am a little nervous about the injections.  I am sure I'll get used to it.

I need to leave for Palm Springs on the 12th of January.  I will do the diet up until the 13th, and then take a break for the few days ( ie, do a short hcg diet interruption) I will be there, resuming again when we return that Monday.

The real bummer is, I will have to reset goals for the third time.  I set original goals, then because I lost weight so quickly, I changed all my goals to be much more aggressive.  Because of the time off the diet I am back on track with my original goals.  When I start back up on the hcg, I will need to modify those goals again.

Since I don't know when my injection supplies will arrive.  It is hard to set a first goal.  I would like to be below 170, when I leave for Palm Springs.  That date is January 12th.
