Some of us may be able to help you with a creative way to switch up your schedule, but, after week 3, you won't even remember that you missed a workout.
As far as being able to say you did it once you're done.... Hopefully you'll be saying that you're still doing it. Or maybe you did it & now you're doing some new program or something you've designed yourself. Once you start seeing results in the mirror & felling better, you'll start to crave more. Just keep it fun. The idea is to make exercise a part of your regular routine. If I miss the gym a couple of days in a row, my wife takes the kids & makes me go. She says I get "fussy" if I don't work out.
Also, keep posting in here or in the fitness thread about it. It'll help keep you motivated & focused. It's also fun to read about. Good luck!

Yeah, one of the problems I had was that I was too hung up on the schedule... figuring out the rest day, trying not to ever skip a day, then taking off a couple of days just so it lined up better with my schedule that week.
I know the short and specific time frames are all about marketing, and you're supposed to take progress pictures, which I think adds pressure of wanting to do it everyday... but, the focus should be on making it a habit to do the workouts at least a few times a week (if not 6-7), so you continue to workout after you get through the program. It's easy to burn out on those types of workouts when you're doing them 6-7 days/week with the mentality that you can't ever break from the schedule.
