Congrats on the 8 pounds!! Way to go!! As for the question about when does the weekend start... in college it starts after classes on Friday, in your 20's it starts after work on Friday, after you have kids weekend?? what weekend?
Technically I think the weekend begins on Saturday. It might be a better idea to try it on Saturday, just in case things don't sit well, at least that way you will be well rested and not up all night

Thats my two cents
