For what it's worth... my consultant is running all her classes as normal on the BH Monday and Tuesday, we're either going to weigh and go or have a party in class - depends what everyone wants to do. I'm so glad we can WI on the Monday as it will focus my mind and take my hand out the tin of roses for half an hour! x

I agree Louise, my worst times are weekends, knowing WI is Monday helps me keep focused
