Here's a few suggestions
One of the helpful hints I picked up somewhere (meaning I'm not sure if it's in the book) is if you switch your RW around for a day, there should still be 20 hours between them. So, if you have have your dinner on the days off by 6PM, You would be around 18 hours before you started your next RW meal. I don't know how realistic it is for you to finish your RW meal on you days off that early. But, if you can, you "might" be able to get away with that.
If you normally eat around 8PM working or not, then, I think you'd be pushing it a bit much.
Another suggestion: are you one of those "I've got to have breakfast or I can't make it till lunch" kinda people....or, could you drink water (or your allowed amount of coffee) in the morning and not eat until your lunch. I'm asking because if you skip breakfast....would you have a chance to take even a 10 minute break around 4-5PM and eat some hard boiled eggs, or cream cheese filled celery? Since you are trying to lose (and are not losing too quickly yet); you don't want to add a "snack" at this point. But, if you could skip breakfast, you could have that added meal between lunch and dinner. That might help you to better control your RW? I'm kinda doing the same thing myself today. We are going to a cookout and we'll be eating 1-1.5 hours after I am usually done with my RW. So, I'm waiting to have my lunch much later today. I've already planned what I can and will eat so I can enjoy my food, but stay within RW boundaries. By eating lunch late, my "ravenous stomach" will NOT beat me like it did last weekend when I didn't plan quite so well
So, yes the WOL does take a lot of planning, but, tonight, I know I'll be having a cheeseburger (with bun), and a small serving of dessert.
