I wrote about tracking food in the very early days of the Becoming Elli website. I wrote a blogpost entitled Counting Calories or Eat Less and Move More.  At that time, I was using SparkPeople for tracking my food. I stuck with that app because I had a large body of data in it. I had created recipes and lots of favorites. It was easy to use. Five years later, I'm now tracking food with Cronometer. Unfortunately, SparkPeople closed its doors for food logging. It changed its focus and no longer provided a free tool for tracking food. Within the past year, I tried logging food on the Fitbit app. It was ok but I definitely prefer tracking food with Cronometer. Some of the reasons why I prefer...

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...
