She started her weight loss journey July 25, 2009 by just watching calories. She didn't add exercise until October 13, 2009, when she started a run/walk program. Not long after, she ran her first 5K in March 2010, and today, October 7, she has lost a total of 60.4 pounds!! She now runs 6-7 days per week at least 3 miles, and usually one long run of 5 miles on the weekend. She's just recently added Body Pump class three days per week, zumba and yoga one day a week. Her goal is to to lose 19.4 more pounds for a total of 80 pounds. She's also lost a total of 27 total body inches.
Vera runs her own program and tracks her calories on www.caloriecount.com. This working Mom of two also says, "I plan my menu out every week, shop for the week, and cook 4-5 nights a week as opposed to going out a lot. This saves money and helps me control the calories of foods I eat."
Vera is a great example of how to adapt a healthy lifestyle into the busiest of situations! Her current goal is to run another half marathon and I have no doubt that she will!
