Starting to feel pretty good about this whole thing.

Illness has really killed my workout routine lately too. Took 3-4 weeks off for a vacation to visit the in laws. Then got a vicious cold. Got back into it, but then had a horrible chest infection and bronchitis.
It's really discouraging to hit the weights and see you're squatting 50-60lbs less than you used to. Fortunately muscle memory means that your get out back relatively quick.
