Hi, I'm Crystal or PunkyCindy. During this log my workouts will be different than normal because I'm working around plantar fasciitis in my right foot. We'll see how this goes. I'll be watching my cals and trying to lose 2 lbs a week, but I'll be happy with 1

Current Goals
- Lose 1 - 2 lbs a week
- Hold on to as much muscle as I can while losing.
- Count cals and macros and hit targets consistently.

Ultimate Goals
- Be competitive in Spartan races and one day try my hand at the Spartan Death Race.

I'll add weight and measurements friday.

Random Facts About Me
- My user name is a combo of punky brewster and cindy lauper.
- I adore polka dots
- Squats are my favorite lift

Hi! It's good to see you around and glad to see you're doing a promera log. I have been extremely impressed with Promera Sports products so far. I love capsi blast and gluta blast! Plantar fasciitis sure is painful isn't? How long did it take you to fully recover?

[jwtiger69]

Subbed! Great start so far.

Hi Crystal..Good to see you back in the logs!!

Once i started wearing the sock it was about a week maybe ten days before i could run with no pain. A friend who let her problem go longer took about a month.
Hope your foot gets better soon..

Thanks Mine's going on 3 weeks, but I just got the inserts. the compression sleeve helped but the inserts are working better. Hopefully the modified workouts will get me back to squats and dead lifts soon.

Subbed! Great start so far.

Hi Crystal..Good to see you back in the logs!!

hey crystal, good to have you back for another run.

[kcharp7]

In! Can't wait to see what you ladies have in store!

[PunkyCindy]

Good morning!
Last night was my first modified workout because of plantar fasciitis and it felt good to be back in the gym. I can always feel that hint of depression creep back up after about 3 days out. (I fully manage depression with lifestyle choices including diet, exercise, and knowing when to step back)

I started with bench since it's the only compound lift that doesn't put more pressure on my foot. I blasted through and hit a PR on bench even though I've been on lower cals.
I absolutely freaking love my stack!!!!!!! Promera Sports baby!

My gym-beast cocktail consists of:
1 scoop gluta blast
2 scoops capsi blast
1 scoop women's elite
1 scoop peak 400

I could definitely feel the difference from the peak. I have been using gluta blast and capsi blast regularly, and I have used women's elite as well, but wow, peak really added an extra umph.

Since I was unsure of my foot and had been out of the gym a bit, I kind of took it easy as far as volume, but that'll change once I figure out this whole foot thing.

Now for the workout, but since I didn't write it down there won't be many specifics, but you'll get an idea at least

Bench
65x8
85x5
100x5
105x4
100x4
(from there I did as many sets as each weight as long as I could get at least 3 reps. I did the whole pyramid down thing in 5lb increments until I got back down to 65 lbs. Each set doing as many reps as I could).

Cable kick backs (straight leg)
I went about 50% because the loop was right on my ankle and heel and I wanted to make sure I tested my foot before going too hard. did 2 sets on each leg to failure.

lat pulldowns
3 sets of 70 to form failure
2 sets of 55 to form failure

arnold presses
3 sets of 25 to failure. started with 8 on the first set

Death machine.....I mean the elliptical. I decided to do this because I can't run or walk. At the 3 minute mark I was making deals with myself. "just finish this song" "just one more minute" "when that commercial goes off you'll stop" it's pretty funny thinking about it, but I managed to make it 25 minutes and all the while I was bargaining with myself.

A pretty puny workout compared to what I normally do, but it's like that sometimes. I really did miss my squats and dealifts, but glad I can add a new pr in my siggy

Welcome!

[vanessa40]

That looks like on hell of a workout to me..nothing punky about it
Hope your foot gets better soon..

[lonniej]

Nice work Crystal...Good job getting 25 minutes on the "death machine". I have one sitting idle in my living room..I injured my knee and can't run. Every now and then I look at that machine and try to talk myself into getting on it..I don't mind using it in the winter but when the weather is nice out I just can't make myself do it!!

[brad23]

Sub'd! You had me at "Squats are my favorite lift" lol. Great start and great logs so far! Keep it up!

[woolegend21]

I sent burnlovedream a link to log so she should be dropping in here anytime now

Nice to see you working through your injuries! Congrats on the PR!

[yakuzastyle]

Nice work hitting the PR. btw, is that blue hair in your avi?

[PunkyCindy]

Nice work hitting the PR. btw, is that blue hair in your avi?

Thanks, and it certainly is. Kind of a teal blue. I feel like I should have been born with blue hair :P

[PunkyCindy]

I had a good workout tonight. I'm really missing squats and deadlifts though. Is it bad when you find yourself looking longingly at the squat rack from across the gym? And yes it was empty!!! lol

The pump from the supps is insane. If Dolly Pardon and Arnold had a love child that would be me.....or at least that's how I felt when I left the gym. Maybe throw in some Jlo and.....who has blue hair? Katy Perry maybe?

1 scoop women's elite....can we tell I like promera supps?

3 sets of 60 to form failure

[PunkyCindy]

Thanks

Yes, I just mix it all in together and drink most of it on the way to the gym and finish it up during my first lift. (lift days) on non lift days I drink the mix mid day when my energy dips.
