Getting into working out after having had a cold

I got sick with a cold on Thursday last week (10 days ago now) and I'm struggling to get back into working out.

Before I got sick I was in the middle of the Step & Sculpt program, took a break for a few days when I felt the most sick, and then got back into stretching a little bit after that to slowly start moving again. I was able to do a programmed recovery type workout with a longer cool down 3 days ago, but now that my next workout day is here I'm struggling again. My body just feels tired and heavy, and I guess the main struggle is wanting to get back into my regular routine but not really feeling up for it physically. It feels frustrating because it has been a week and a half now, and I have even been back at work this whole past week.

I ended up scheduling a shorter stretch for myself for today that I will do later, and I will try to get back into things as normal hopefully early next week.

I guess I just needed to vent... and also to ask how you guys deal with all of this when you get sick?
