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
I always knew I felt better after I worked out but I had never been in a situation where I needed to 'calm' myself and used working out to help that. On Tuesday night after that long day, I neeeeded that workout. My body was craving something and as soon as I worked out I felt instantly better. It was almost like a weight being taken off me, don't get me wrong it wasn't even a great workout, but it was something.
Call it endorphins or habit or whatever you like. Exercising doesn't just do the body good, it is good for the mind. So now I will never second guess that, if I am needing a mental reset the basement for a workout is exactly where I am going.
Well it's been a little less then 6 months since I flew to Toronto and I did 3 shows sharing my story and selling them out of Treadclimbers on LIVE TV for The Shopping Channel!
Well they are bringing me back, but this time instead of scheduling 3 shows it will be 7 and the 'Showstopper deal of the weekend' (which I have been told is a very big deal)
If your a busy mom like me with pre school, and sports and all the things around the house, making meals and everything. Finding time to workout some days is beyond a challenge- this is the first thing. Stop 'looking for the time' and make it!
January is well on its way and so are my resolutions – My workouts have been top notch with my cardio being bumped up by 20 extra minutes. Like I said I want 2016 to be my fittest year yet, so I figured lets start with more cardio and more squats and go from there...
Another Resolution of mine was to try juicing.
2016, It's a New Year – and anything is possible.
Every year in January you can honestly say you are having a fresh start. What happened last year no longer matters. If you are using the new year for a 'new you' resolution that's fantastic!
Well is your life starting to get back to normal after Christmas? Or are you stuck between the awkwardness of Christmas Holidays, not knowing what day it is so you're still napping and eating whatever you want? Either way I hope your Christmas was amazing!
Mine was VERY eventful!
Can you believe it? Christmas is literally around the corner! This December has been busier than ever and went by faster that I was ready for. Penn has been right into everything this year.
Enjoy the Holidays
Can you believe it, Christmas is literally around the corner. And Christmas means Gingerbread houses, chocolate treats, Christmas drinks and a big yummy meal at the end of it.
It also means a lot of fun with your friends and your family. So if you are wondering my thoughts on how to balance it all with staying healthy and exercising….I say ENJOY IT!
Its about You
Weight loss in my opinion – truly is more of a mind game then a physical one.
Before I decided I needed to make a change in my life and order the TreadClimber, I would make excuses for all the reasons I 'couldn't do it'
