My two cents: Don't get super bogged down in staying exactly strict with the programs if you can't. Sure, they're designed to be five workouts per week, but if that's too much for you, it's too much. Be where you are. Also, if you see a workout that looks too challenging for that moment, put a pin in it and pick another one that you know you like or hits muscles you want to hit. I'd say just do something to stay consistent. Any workout is better than no workout! 

Try doing just one circuit or two circuits of any workout. Once you feel you can get through a whole workout, try to do the challenge as prescribed. Not a fitness expert, but that’s what I did when I first started!

Ha—yes, the seconds are slooooow during a squat hold. I distract myself by doing different things like a flex, pretend I’m driving a car, wave to a friend, pretend I’m reading a book, etc. good thing I work out alone lol.

That is badass!

Yum. Now I'm hungry. : ) 

Heal up, my friend!!! Sorry to hear it!

Indeed. Working out in the morning definitely can help get your head straight. Glad it helped!
