Hey young world! Our names are Tiana and Kanae. Recently, we vowed to make some lifestyle changes. We wanted to lose weight, eat right and workout more. We've tried before and already knew our journey would be hard especially if we tried to do it by ourselves. So we came together and promised to motivate and encourage each other as we made our lifestyle changes. This blog is dedicated to our journey. Welcome!

Embrace the FRIZZZZZZZZZ.................!!!

As women, we love to primp and prime ourselves.  One thing that goes into that process is getting our hair done! When we get our hair done up it puts an extra pep in our step and makes us feel put together and even more confident. We can put on a HOT outfit, some cute make up but if our hair isn't fixed, then the look is not complete.

I have natural hair, but even when I had relaxed hair I would hate to sweat out my perm! LOL.. With natural hair my sweat may cause some frizz or worse depending on the style I am wearing.  Sometimes I get my hair straightened and then I really don't want to work out and revert it back.

So then I find  myself questioning whether I should work out or keep my hair looking fly??????


I have to take a deep breath and look at the bigger picture. My health and my body IS the bigger picture. My hair is just a small part of the picture.So far I've been managing ok, just ok... but I will do some research on some protective styles so that even while I'm on this weight loss kick, I can still look good while doing it! =D

Please send me suggestions if you have any!  I will try to update you all on things that works for my hair while I'm working out.  But for now... I will EMBRACE my FRIZZINESS!! =) (It's not the end of the world)

my confession

Hi all,

Womp womp!

I've been such a slacker. Ever since I went to San Diego for my trip, I have been a true slacker. I have eaten and drank with no restrictions. Whats worse! I didn't workout at all. Then on top of that, Mother Nature made a visit so I gave into all my cravings.

I feel so horrible. So I have rededicated myself and started again. I know at times there will be off days and I will fall short. But the message I got is we all fall down, but we must get back up.

As Hannibal Smith says "I love it when a plan comes together." So with that in mind, I will attack this mission with a fresh perspective and new plan.


Step 1: Take it a day at a time

Step 2: Plan for the next day and if I get good, plan for the week.

Step 3: Stick to the plan as best as possible but remember no one is perfect.

Step 4: Be realistic

So with a renewed strength, tomorrow is the start of a new day. I still have time to get it together before the bday trip in May.


Plan for Thursday:

Breakfast: Orange juice, toast, scrambled egg
Snack: Cheerios
Lunch: Cheeseburger, Whole Wheat Bread,  Fruit Cup
Snack: Popcorn
Dinner: ??
Activity: Yoga

I'll check back in on Thursday evening to let you know how it goes.
