A is for . . . apples??

I don't know how it all really began, but a few weeks ago, Bon and I were discussing an ABC diet. Start at the beginning of the alphabet, each day you can only eat foods which start with that letter day. Fun right??

Well, just like it typically happens in a random Bonnie and Shawna scheme. . . talk turned to action. Rules were established (because what's a fun new Kelly diet without a little competition?) and day one began. . . today!

So for the next 26 days (or however many days we get before someone messes up and LOSES) I will be reporting how I did on that day's diet. Wish me luck!!

A is for . . .
apple
Asian Cuisine
apple with caramel
Animal Crackers
apple sauce
angel hair pasta
have I mentioned apple?


















For any normal person, "A" probably would not have been too tricky. Avacado, Asparagus, Artichoke, Alfredo. . . all perfectly legit "A" foods. . . however, not exactly on Shawna's list of edible eats.
Part way through the day, I did randomly search through my treasure box at school (which let's be honest- I do quite regularly) and discovered gold! That was definitely a fun surprise.

But now, at home, I fear the only thing left downstairs for me to eat is yet another applesauce. Maybe tonight will be an early bedtime as I dream of all my favorite (and quite abc varied) foods!

wow, great Apple minds think alike :) . . . I love how you had apples and apples with caramel, YUM! I was doing a bit of research and there is absolutely NOTHING for us to each for X (besides some random, watermelon like fruit) grrrr . . . .maybe that will be our day of cleanse :) I have always wanted to do one of those haha! Hey, you wanna walk to the beach tomorrow?? lol

Man I didn't even think of the A things that you didn't eat. I would so eat those.....My mom would love the first day of this diet because she eats apples for her first meal of the day, I think every day. After the first day it may get tough unless there is a fruit for every letter of the alphabet. Good luck. Can't wait to see what else you guys have to eat. Love Debi

Is this diet for loosing or just for eating? Maybe for "X" you can someone x-ray whatever you want to eat that day; like x-rayed noodles or x-rayed tacos or x-rayed pizza. that way you could eat anything you want... and if Bonnie decides to do a cleanse you guys might as well go have a colonscopy because you have to do that before you have one- so might as not waste the effort.
