The Change in Weather, Mind, Body, and Soul

Hey there Pika fans! So I'm back and with some interesting turn of events. So far with my hair growth I have seen now a full inch in hair growth just a week after my 30 day hair care challenge ended. I'm still wearing my hair with its natural curls and I think I'll keep it that way until I feel like it lol. I have since straightened my hair once and it looks amazingly long and beautiful but after a few hours of it being straightened, it ended up becoming thin and unhealthy once again so I made sure not to put any heat on it since. Along with my hair growth, I have some news to report on my weight loss. Within one weekend I supposedly gained 5lbs. So I'm sitting here thinking what in the hell did I eat that weekend,  I didn't stop working out but I had been feeling even more sluggish than before. I have finally come to the conclusion that it must be my Depo shot. I got the Depo shot the last week of August and was feeling fine for a whole month. Then all of a sudden my hormones just went out of whack. One minute I was happy the next I was crying, I've had nights where I'll stay up all night and all morning and never getting a wink of sleep. Worrying about things that I shouldn't even be worrying about. I felt like a hot mess and believe me I still do. Knowing that I had weight gain, feeling like I'm going out of my mind and also my body feeling deteriorating in health and bone mass, made me want to hide away from the world. I will say it again I will never go on this shot ever again it's not worth my health and my sanity for that matter. I got on it because it was the only form a birth control that was consistent and didn't have as many side effects like the pills I was on. Well this shot proved me the hell wrong so come time for my second shot you best believe I will NOT be going back for it. I will find something that works for me instead and finally get all these hormones out of my body that are just not natural. This has just been the worst feeling I could have ever experienced on birth control. I feel sorry for my husband cause he has to deal with me :/ Other than all of this Pika fans I am still alive and well and hoping to get back on track with everything. School is going very well, just finished up my midterm exams and am awaiting for the completion of my Student Teaching Application! Yay! If you guys have any questions on anything that I have discussed tonight please feel free to comment. I'm more than happy to answer them :D Have a great rest of the week and rest up college students!

Shedding the Baby Pika Fat ;)

Pika has hit the gym hard ladies and gents! Aside from my awesome vacation in the city of SIN, I have been working my little yellow lightening butt tail off! I even bought me some work out clothes! Every day even before the semester had started, I have been at the gym working hard on cardio and leg strengthening. I can tell you my experience so far has been the roughest yet most fulfilling I have ever done in my life. And no I have yet to weigh myself because I'm planning on doing so next week on Friday morning and again it's not about losing the weight; it's about losing the fat! So truth be told I honestly feel like this:

I felt heavy and you'll never guess how heavy.....kinda like a Snorlax O.o no just kidding but I did almost weigh 200lbs....yeah shocking right? I was 197 and before the weight gain I was 150. I am not ashamed to tell my story or reveal my previous weight cause guess what, I'm doing something about it and it's what matters for my health and to me no one else. BUT I do plan on helping and inspiring others and if anyone has any questions know that this Pika is here for you till the end. I am not embarrassed, I have come such a long way that I can fit into pants that I wore 2 years ago. That's how great I feel, plus I have ooodles of energy. My current weight is 184, -13lbs and I believe I have gone down a lot more since this was two weeks ago that I weight myself. The key to all of this is creating a goal and getting off the couch and saying, "I'm headed to the gym." It takes a few times to go but then when you miss, there is a piece of you missing with it. It almost just becomes habit. So you're all probably curious as to how I gained that much weight in 2 years so here it goes. 

1. Depo Shot (Birth Control for those who don't know)

2. Cafeteria Food (This is MANDATORY for those who lived in the dorms) 

3. Lack of Exercise (Even walking sucked so bad : / )

4. 21st Birthday..... (Yea one to many drinks with too much salt intake made me swell like a balloon) 

5. Self Conscious, yes self conscious. I remember in high school I didn't give two shits of what anyone had to say about me, my style. or my weight, I was happy and I am again now :D 

6. And over all being a LAZY ASS.... there is just no excuse for this crap 

Now that we have that out of the way, I can finally say that my goal can be within my reach before Student Teaching in the Spring. My goal is to get into the 150's again. It doesn't have to be exactly 150 but around there would be awesome. This weight was the best ever for me, I had a lean body but still kept my amazing physique and rack ;) 

So please do ask me questions and if you all comment and request it, at the mid point of my journey I will post a before and after picture. No instragraming type shit, just normal slouching with fat and all :D Again not embarrassed. Also if you want to hear more on my hair growth and get an update with tips and tricks on that, tune in next time Pika fans. Again I adore each and every one of your views, because without you, there would be no Miss Pikachuification. Good night all and see you soon! 

Love Always

P.S: Here is my most favorite song when I'm doing cardio. Once I hear this song I hit that treadmill like a beast, running non stop baby! Don't Hold Back by The Sleeping! Enjoy

This Pika Needs a Better Groomer!!

So lately this Pika has felt the need to feel extremely embarrassed of her hair. I use to have such long beautiful locks until I got a wild hair up my ass to cut it. I didn't cut it much so it grew back ten times as healthy and fast. Two years ago I wanted to get my hair re layered because the layers had already grew out. Never would I have ever known that this would be the worst mistake. Two years later today my hair has not grown out an inch. It actually seems even shorter to me now but that might just be my insecurities taking over. I have finally decided to take a 30 days challenge in which I will not use any styling tools on my hair, aside from my bangs because not matter how much I damage those suckers they seem to grow back fast. I will not apply any heat to my hair for 30 days, this includes the crown and the length of my hair. I pray by doing this and taking daily multivitamins including Biotin which is great for nail and hair growth, will help my hair get back into tip top shape. Along with my daily exercise which I am totally kick ass on, and drinking a lot of water, I feel this will be a great experience for me and my health. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help with my hair growth. I would love to hear from you my adoring Pikachu fans! You're opinions mean a lot to me because if you weren't reading, then all this wouldn't be worth my while. Miss Pikachuification needs help!!!! SOS! See you soon Pika fans!!!

Love Always,

This Pika Ain't Nobody's Bitch!

Haven't you ever just wondered what goes through a selfish person's mind? What makes them so power hungry and why don't they realize what they are doing? I've been asking myself this for a while now and the only answer I can come up with is they like to feel as if everyone around them is beneath them whether it be a work status, money status, etc. They're just power driven people. I don't understand it. I have been tossed and thrown back and forth at work and believe me I'm getting pretty damn tired of it. I am a work study student, which means I don't do major work, but that all changed. I have been isolated from my co workers, I have been told not to speak to others for the fear of getting in "trouble." Honestly I am not some 12 year old girl to be pushed around. Also it's one thing for them to tell me what to do but it's another to tell my family what to do. Now that just blew my top, you do not fuck with my family. I have come to the conclusion that this town has very few good people and a shit load of ugly, nasty, horrible, rude people. I hope I can find my way through this last year of college because I'm starting to have that I don't give a fuck attitude with everyone who gets in my way. Is that bad? This Pika doesn't seem to think so. Keep me in your thoughts Pika fans, I would really love some advice especially now that I need it. The next time you read my blog, I will have changed this situation and let's see how it turns out. See you next time!

Love Always,

Pika's on a Health Kick!

Time to eat healthy! This Pika wants to get in shape and be in good health! Lately I have been hitting the gym along with hiking Hermit's Peak in Gallinas, NM. I looked at myself in the mirror today and I felt so much more confident and lively. My goal is to lose 40lbs before I begin my student teaching this coming spring. So the pressure is on my dear Pika fans. It's not so much just losing the lbs it's about losing the body fat and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Before I lost 10lbs I was beyond sluggish and exhausted all the time. Now that the weight has dropped I feel more upbeat and ready for the day, well sometimes lol. I'm excited to start this journey and can't wait to show you all my results. I'm dedicated and determined, gotta be healthy for myself, my husband and our family! I have a long life to live and I'm ready to embrace it all! See you tomorrow and wish me luck!

Love Always

The Gengar Within

This is sincerely how I have been feeling for the past summer. Like some type of evil is trying to consume my soul and destroy the goodness in me. I've had one hell of a month. From living in a dream land getting married in June to someone having to fuck it all up for me. Go figure that particular person has to be a part of my new family. Aside from that I had so much stress with school and work that I became a very irritable person. But you know what? It was all worth it in the end, I helped my Dad with work, I kept up with our bills and they're paid to date, and I got to visit with the people that mean most to me. So I guess summer wasn't all that bad, just the bad seemed to over power the good till now. Today I finished my final Spanish course and I can take it easy for the next 3 weeks aside from going to work. Who knew this gringa could speak "proper" Spanish lol. My plans for my mini vacation are to spend time with my husband, hiking, biking, working out, playing Pokemon Video Games, and visiting with my family and friends. I love my family :0) I thank God that he kept the inner Pika in me alive because without it I would just be a big grump. To all my Pika's out there, don't lose the faith! Hard times will come and go just take what you can from it and keep going! See you all next time!

Love Always,
