I am becoming more carnivore each week. Today I picked up 5 small ribeye steaks to have for dinner each night this week (steaks only, nothing else, including no steak sauce). And I picked up 5 Italian sausage links to have for breakfast each morning. Today I did buy a bag of oranges to have as a nightly "treat", mainly to avoid rickets and increase the fiber a little
When I do go out mid-day on Fridays I always bring half the meal home to stretch over two meals. Also, when dining out, I go to a good restaurant that serves quality food, and always get a salad, just to have some vegetable intake.
I've recently converted my dungeon-like basement into what I call a "boxing gym" (vintage leather boxing gloves should arrive tomorrow to hang on the wall). I've also installed a DLP movie projector down there, and often watch "Rocky" movies while working out after work each day. I've got a few sets of dumbbells, a treadmill and a stationary bike.
Progress is coming slow, but I have found that my trips downstairs to the basement after work each day have become the most enjoyable part of my day.
I do miss chocolate.
I’m glad that you take in some vegetables. My husband has been doing mostly meat and eggs for quite a while now; and though it doesn’t seem to be harming him, I couldn’t live without some vegetables...
When he was still eating more widely, my husband made some chocolate ‘fat bombs’ using monk fruit or some other sweetener, I can’t remember. We had to keep them frozen, but they were pretty good as an occasional chocolate fix.
His recipe is something like this:

“always get a salad, just to have some vegetable intake.”
Hubby is obsessed with salad — lettuce especially, which doesn’t have much food value. It’s a misconception that lettuce is super healthy. When I make salad for myself, it’s just a teeny bit of lettuce, and heavy on green peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, and any actual vegetables in the fridge, including leftovers. I make his lettuce-heavy because he thinks it’s super “good for you”.
