Seeing each day as a separate mitzvah or seeing the entire 7 weeks as
Rishonim regarding the nature of the counting of the Omer in terms of There is quite an interesting discussion amongst the Gaonim and Period is included in one continuous mitzvah.Ī Separate Mitzvah Count Each Day or One 49 Day Counting Mitzvah?

Also whether the mitzva today is rabbinic or not will make a difference. Whether or not it is one long mitzvah or 49 separate mitzvos will make a difference in the halacha. This actually brings up the case of the bar mitzvah boy or a ger who become chayav mitzvos in the middle of the omer period. There is also a machlokes whether or not it is currently a Torah Mitzvah (since it is explicitly commanded) or a rabbinic mitzvah (since it is connected with korbon omer which we can no longer bring). However, we do continue saying it (without a bracha) if we miss a day. That is, we say the mitzvah each day (even though we cannot be certain that we will complete it), but we do not continue with the bracha if we do miss a day (safek bracha lehakel). We basically treat it as a single mitzvah with 49 parts. We can also say that the answer can be technically "no", in that it is not necessarily an "either or" situation. That is it is a machlokes as to what exactly the mitzvah is. Technically, the answer to your question can be "yes".
