Tracking Food with Cronometer

Tracking Food with Cronometer

I wrote about tracking food in the very early days of the Becoming Elli website.

Fall: My Favorite Fitness Season

Fall: My Favorite Fitness Season

I didn’t realize that fall is my favorite fitness season until I sat down to write a blog post. I thought, I’ll write about how the fall season is a great time to change up my fitness plans. When I did a search for other blog posts I might have written, I found these posts: 2018 Ten Tips for Fall Fitness 2019 End of Summer 2020 The Fun of Fall Biking 2021 Running in the Fall with My Dog Apparently last year (2022) I was more focused on food than on fitness because I wrote about roasting pumpkin seeds in the air fryer.  This is a good reminder that I should get a pumpkin to carve this year. In 2017, which I believe was the year Chris and I started the...
