Have you come across Stumptous before? It's a great resource, female focused, but good for pretty much anyone. I don't think there's anything about working around health problems like fibromyalgia, but there are articles about basic workout ideas, making sure you have good form, and all that sort of thing.
Someone else here recently mentioned Nerd Fitness and I got my roommate to start the Angry Birds workout plan, which has almost entirely bodyweight exercises that work your whole body: squats, push-ups, pull-ups, planks. (I say almost entirely bodyweight because before you can do pull-ups you start with bent over rows, which require lifting a weight.) It has a progression that makes each exercise harder, so you can level as you get better at each thing.
But from poking around various places, I have picked up that what you want to do is work your upper body and your lower body, you want push exercises and pull exercises, and compound exercises that work lots of muscle groups are generally better than isolation exercises. (Though if you need to strengthen a particular body part, then isolation exercises can be helpful too.)
The exercises you mention look good to me -- they work a lot of muscles at once, which is always a good thing. I think the main thing you're lacking is an upper body pull exercise, so throwing in some rows would take care of that.
I've been looking through New Rules of Lifting for Abs lately, which has a lot of plank variations and suggests that you should make doing the plank harder instead of working on doing plank for a long time. So you can scale up your planks without increasing the amount of time you spend working out.
One thing you could try is ladder training -- start with one rep of what ever exercise you're doing, rest a few seconds, then do two, rest, etc., go until you can't do the next number of reps in the ladder. That's one set. Then have a longer rest and do another set or two the same way. Depending on how bad your bad days are, you might be able to still do the ladder and just not go up as far.
