Chandell Tytlandsvik
Chandell is a Saskatchewan mom whose fitness journey, full of ups and downs, eventually brought her success – losing 105 pounds in less than a year. Her success, surprisingly, led her to become a North America-wide star of a Bowflex TreadClimber advertising campaign in early 2015. Now, she maintains her healthy life and shares her experience in this blog. Chandell says “I am not a trainer... I am not a nutritionist… I am an everyday super average mom trying to balance it all. Knowing that fitness doesn't have an end number to reach or time you stop – it’s every day making a conscious effort to be better for yourself and for your family. We only get one life and I want to be happy, healthy and kind in mine!” Her weight loss journey can be seen at her archived personal blog http://pennsmomma.blogspot.ca or you can follow her on Instagram @its.chandell
So lately I have been super busy and sucking, and the thing is I refuse to get stuck in maintenance mode (MM)
Old me would see fitness things come across my Instagram or Pinterest and be almost irritated...Like how dare that shit show up while I am crushing this bag of chips, what are they trying to do make me feel bad?! I seriously would scroll quicker so I didn't even have to see it. Sad I know.
When I decided to blog, I knew I had to be 100% honest, if I wasn't then what was the point. Therefore I shared all my weights, my pictures, and my struggles. Not to be all "Oh look at me" but because thats what's real. After posting I received some of the most heart felt and kind messages.
Loosing weight is one of the hardest things I think anyone can do. To me it is 100% a state of mind, if you can't put your head in it, it wont happen. If there was a magic pill that you could take and the next day be skinny and happy then that sh*t would be flying off the shelf!
