I was crazy sick last week, (103.8 fever off and on for about 48hrs) and I'm trying to figure out if I should put in a half-hearted and low energy workout, or if I should just take a second week off. Maybe I'll do cardio starting tomorrow and see how it goes, but I have almost no energy. This will be my second week off, but I'm not sure if I should go that long without lifting.
Any thoughts? Lift, or just take a break until I get my energy back? I'm getting better ever day and could expect to hit it hard again on Monday.

Myself, I'd be in the gym trying like hell.
I've had a cold (something) for the last week, coughing up flem and all that yumminess, as well the headache that won't stop.
Hasn't stopped me from hitting the gym.. I just head to the bathroom for my coughing/spitting fits and clean the equipment down when I am done--

^^^^Definitely not a run-of-the-mill head cold.
