I figured out that there are
233 calories per serving, if 76 servings are made. (Please note that the calorie
counts vary depending on the specific brands of ingredients that you choose to
use.)

When Ree wrote that it would
make 50 – 60, I thought that was the perfect amount for school. I should have
known from previous experience that she makes bigger portions than I do. So, I
made 76 rolls. I was happy to be able to share cinnamon rolls with several
neighbors as well as take about 50 to school. I must say that they were really amazing. This would be a
great go to food for a large gathering .
Random Reflections - Bucket List
One of
the things I would like to do is to learn a great deal about fostering animals.
One of my goals for retirement is to foster animals at my home in Kentucky. I
love animals and would like to help care for animals in need. I think that
would be a good use of my time, and it would give me tremendous pleasure.

Goal: 78.2 lbs. (100 lb. loss
between 6/1/14 – 6/1/15)
- 5.3 lbs. this
week’s loss
72.9 lbs. lbs to go
Calories
this week were great. I didn’t hit 2,000 calories on any day and that is one of
the keys to this week’s weight loss. The funny thing is that on Friday, I ate
only 1,578 calories but I was soooooo full. This is because I ate brisket. For
some reason brisket keeps me full for hours on end. I think I am doing well. I have lost 27.1 pounds in three months. I am well on my way to losing my 10 pounds in a year. Yee Ha!

*** had trouble getting my FitBit charged today
Boy, can you tell
I am back to school full time this week!
My steps dropped from over 10,000 every day to between 6,731 – 8,982.
Bummer! I was so busy this week
that I didn’t have time to walk the dogs and do a little extra moving. I really
need to up these numbers next week.
Wants and Wishes
I
really want to take my Mom with me and locate every house I have ever lived in
and photograph it. I know the homes from when I was in first grade on, but I
have no idea of the places we lived when I was a baby or youngster. This would
also be fun to go with Mom and enjoy her memories.
