JD, after reading your post I couldn't wait to respond. However some of the guys above have already said it. A good rest like that is one of the best things you can do for your body. You won't believe how strong you will feel after you get back to the gym! A rest gives your body time to heal, like one of the guys stated above, your body needs rest like this to rejuvenate the body and mind. If you have access to tread mill that would be great to use during that time as well. Don't sweat it bro, this is a good thing!
