About 5 years ago my wife and I were at The Palms in Las Vegas.

The pre-dinner got a bit dicey. I'd had a plate of chinese food for lunch, and wasn't sure that would get me into early evening. But, I made it.

It could be. We'll see. But I seem to be "needing" less food daily. And to be honest, I think less about food.

I'm still "hovering" at 180 lbs. But, I'm starting to lose "size". The belt(s) were down a notch today, and the medium shirts are starting to fit better.
