Temporary Insanity

The cookies in question

This past weekend my cousin got married and I was commissioned to make 150 fancy wedding cookies. Each cookie consisted of 6 separate cookies stacked up to look like a wedding cake, and, although they look elegantly simple, were extremely complicated to make. I baked 900 cookies out of my tiny little kitchen in my forty year old oven with only one rack in it and three sheet pans. Add 450 fondant roses, along with the fondant icing for each layer and that made for a week of hard work. Why am I telling you all this? Because I fell off the wagon, hard.

I learned a lot about my eating habits this past week. It's easy for me to stick to a healthy diet when I'm not busy, but throw in some stress and I crumble like a week-old cookie. Faced with a full dinner buffet, I pigged out. At the rehearsal dinner I had peach cobbler AND key lime pie, for crying out loud! I don't think I even bothered to log a single item in MyFitnessPal. It was so bad that I even found myself eating leftover dried icing off the sheet pans after I was done. This week is going to be all about getting myself  back on track!
