Hi! My name is Pamela.

I have used many different sites out on the web to track calories, diet, exercise and am glad to have found this one. I love the fact that the food database is so extensive.

So I just turned 39 a few days ago. 9 months ago I had spinal fusion and am finally able to start running and getting active again. My goal is to run a 5k in October and do the Bataan Memorial Death March (15.2 miles) in March. I am doing all of this with my daughter.

I feel lucky that I can walk and function pain-free for the first time in years. I am no longer taking advantage of my health and have found out that I love to run. No really!! I get a high from it when I successfully complete my runs.

Here's to good health and I look forward to meeting many of you.

Pamela

    Thank you and venting is sometimes important. I could have used this site last night. Had a great run, but was still frustrated for some reason. Thanks again and I am tickled to have found others on the same journey.
