Hi Allan,

The only thing I'd watch out for is that the 6 PM
boundary (or whatever you decide) doesn't start
creeping in either direction. 2 days is 2 days, and
you even have a nice mnemonic for it, but it's not
quite as unambiguous as "days that start with S." I
have occasionally shifted my weekend to start and end
earlier for some special event, but I rarely do
because of this clarity issue and because I've found I
can eat pretty well even within the constraints a
non-S day. In sum, I have no problem with it at all if
you really think you can stick by it, but be careful.
Maybe the gain of including a "peak" time in your S
time trumps the clarity issue, but there's at least a
little danger it'll work the other way around.
