Default Finish Break In or Not?

Do to a wicked October snow storm we are just getting our power back on after 5 days and my gym has been closed for the past week. I had started the lifting program #4 "Serious About Lifting, But Seriously Overweight" I was in week 3 of Break In (4 A workouts complete, 3 B workouts complete). Since we were in survival mode I did not have time to workout. Do you all thing I should finish the Break In or count this past week as my week off and start on Monday 10/23 with weeks 5-8 Fat Loss II?

Yeah, why not. I don't think that should cause much of a problem

finish the break-in. It really prepares you for the workouts. I know if I hadn't done it, I wouldn't been physically ready to do the regular workouts.

Finish it. It won't hurt, only help.

By the time you get to FL2 and FL3 you'll be quite happy that you built a good foundation during the Break-In stages. By all means, finish it. Some of the later workouts look fairly doable on paper, but wait til you try them.
