Don & Marlene Wilds, Brian, Sherrie, Mikki & Chanice Colonna
Meet the Colonna Family
During the week, daughters Chanice and Mikki, stay with their grandparents, Don and Marlene Wilds, due to their parent's early morning work schedules, which also means they eat most of their meals with them as well. Mother Sherrie lives with several health issues which have contributed to weight gain over the years. The family weight gain has contributed to a lack of energy. The Colonna's are looking forward to the journey as a family unit to a healthier lifestyle.

First of all, we would like to thank Genevieve, the trainers, dieticians, CHCH News and the YMCA in choosing us to partcipate in the YMCA Fit 4 Life Challenge and for the wonderful gifts that we received and to everyone else not mentioned who are involved.
The Colonna family has now for the past few weeks had their Fit 4 Life Challenge in motion. Since our first meeting together with the other two families and our trainers, dieticians and directors of the program, we
have set our goals to stop being couch potatoes, and stop eating high-calorie, fattening junk foods. We have decided to eat healthier meals and smaller portions, exercise as often as possible and make our trips to
the YMCA as regular as possible.
We have met with our trainer, Nicole, and she has set Marlene (Grandma) and Don (Grandpa) on their cardiovascular program and they are exercising on
the treadmill, bike, and on a weight exercising program and are doing some pool therapy and outdoor walking.
Myself(Mom), Brian (Dad), Chanice and Mikki have our programs set with Nicole and we have our goals set as well on getting healthier and in better physical condition. We are working out on the treadmill, weights,
bike, gym programs and swimming. We try to juggle around our busy family life to get to the gym as much as we can.
We met on November 11th with Genevieve, staff trainers, dieticians and CHCH News staff and did a short program on some of our activities for the YMCA Fit 4 Life Challenge website and for CHCH Morning Live. We are looking forward to using our new cameras and sending in some Fit 4 Life Challenge related photos for the YMCA/CHCH web site.
Thanks!
