A whole lot better?
If this article from getfitslowly.com is to be believed, then I shouldn’t have put my 100 push up challenge on hold while I had a cold.
My dad always said (about exercise, among other things), “It’ll either make you feel a whole lot better, or a whole lot worse.” Maybe this is a truism, but my experience has been that exercise while sick usually does make me feel better. Especially running. Maybe that’s because I’m more accustomed to running than to weight training or push ups?
So I guess my month-long break can be chalked up to laziness 
May I also share that you should keep track of what you’re doing by using a weigh training journal. With a log you can look back weeks or months ago (or even years) and see your progress. That can boost morale. But the real value is in the here and now. Two points:
1. You’re less likely to skip a workout if you’ve got a written schedule. It’s easier to stick to your plan.
2. Before each day’s workout, look at the last time you did that exercise. Now, pick something to beat: the weight, the number of reps, an extra set.
The entire point: with a log/journal, you’ll work harder and see faster progress.
