Kyla

Over the past year, Rhonda says that by and large her family has continued to do well. “We mostly continued to eat healthily, although of course over the summer we had a few slip ups because it is harder to eat healthy at family barbecues and get togethers because not everyone in our extended family eats the same way that we do,” says Rhonda.

Despite a few minor set backs, Rhonda says that the everyone is doing pretty good health wise. “We are being as healthy as we can possibly be. I’m still trying to be the captain of the ship, but when I fall they fall. When I slip, they think they can slip too,” she says, adding that it is easier to keep Michael on track because he is younger, and Kyla is still a little difficult to steer in the right direction.

Both Kyla and Brandon are graduating from high school this year. Brandon is excited to be joining the army, as he has been in the reserves up until now and can join properly once he graduates. “Brandon is back from army training and staying fit, which is inspiring us all to do the same,” Rhonda says with considerable pride.
