And peanut butter.

Almond butter is like sex with a condom.

Scratch that. It's like dry humping with a condom on under your shorts.

Because it's got

Surviving.

i somehow went 3 days this week without eating meat. i don't know if that's ever happened to me in my life since having teeth. I've also had cauliflower as rice for a week solid. i don't even want to go back to real rice, i enjoy how much it's cooked.

i did have the strangest occurrence last night. At Deacon's meeting somebody brought pizza from my favorite local place. afterwards, i took one bite and was like "meh." i don't know what that means, but i've been wanting pizza for 3 weeks and to finally get a bite and not enjoy it that much is the strangest thing in the world to me.

i've also gone to drinking coffee black exclusively. i had creamer in one the other day and it was almost undrinkable, how sweet it was.

i'm under the impression that this is the goal of the whole thing. To take stuff that tastes good, but is really crap out of the equation, add it back and figure out if you really missed it to begin with.

That's what I'm finding. I'm starting to not miss bread. And when I cheat and have it, I feel nasty. I'm down about 20 lbs still over 14 weeks. And I feel pretty fricking fantastic.

Almond butter sucks, and I love almonds.

You can get natural peanut butter that is just peanuts, oil, and a little bit of salt. That stuff is pretty good.

I thought you werent allowed to have peanuts with whole 30?

Sunbutter(sunflower seeds) is decent

Do not eat legumes. This includes beans of all kinds (black, red, pinto, navy, white, kidney, lima, fava, etc.), peas, chickpeas, lentils, and peanuts. No peanut butter, either. This also includes all forms of soy – soy sauce, miso, tofu, tempeh, edamame, and all the ways we sneak soy into foods (like lecithin). -

ETA, I didnt see the "." after peanuts


Like I said, the wife has grown to enjoy sunbutter, we have a batch of fresh ground almond butter, its alright, the sunbutter is better

Text exchange from Baptist wife and I just now:

her: at school one kid brought a breakfast lunchable with pancakes and syrup. when i opened it up, i felt like Edward smelling Bella for the first time.

me: WTH? Did you just use a twilight: the vampire reference with me?

her: well it was the only thing i could compare it to. the point remains that i might take it from the kid and drink the syrup. from a lunchable

me: i remember you being rather mockish of my cries for syrup when we had those crap banana coconut flour pancakes

her: i was wrong. the struggle is real.


ETA rest of conversation

First off, grass fed beef sucks arse. There is a reason beef cattle are fattened, and that reason is flavor (and texture). I would rather go without beef entirely than waste money on that shite. Who in their right mind would pay more for an inferior product that is actually cheaper to produce? Fad diet, cow-eyed, cross-fit women, that's who.

My feelings on this whole 30 thing cannot be expressed in strong enough terms. My wife tried to sneak in a new recipe the other night. You guessed it, it came from one of those shitty whole 30 cookbooks. It sucked.

Your back and forth seems natural. I bet y'all have some raunchy texts. Them southern baptists aren't the most descriptive or clever with their dirty thoughts

---

the reason that she has the name "baptist wife" is because after the icloud fappening she made me go delete all raunchy texts and pictures off phone and icloud.

i referred to her as my prim and proper Southern Baptist wife, who it took a long time to get to the point of sending said texts and pictures. She went back to being prude over the phone. thus she has been referred to by a few here as "baptist wife"
