I just stocked up on some yogurt and fruit so I’ll have something good to bring to work with me!

Floor Pullups (with band)
If you’re still working up to the ‘thought’ of pull ups (or if you find yourself without access to a bar), doing them from the floor is a great way to target the same muscles and keep them conditioned.
I like to use a resistance band, but a towel also works (as does a weighted bar or broom handle). Light weights (very light) come in handy if you have them. Beginners can start with just body weight if needed: just be extra aware of squeezing/targetting your lats and upper back.
Towel Pullups - Instructions
A. Start by lying on your belly, hands and feet extended. Grip your towel (or band )between your hands, shoulder width apart, keeping the tension in it (no sagging). Lift arms 1-2 inches off floor, in line with shoulders.
B. Lifting yourself off the ground, pull the band/towel towards your chest. Keep elbows off the ground and pull them past your back. Squeeze through your lats as you pull. If using a band, give it a slight tug to turn up the resistance.
C. Lower your chest as you return arms to starting position. Keep tension in the band/towel throughout the move, and focus on form & control: NOT speed. :)
Try working up to 3 sets of 20 reps!

No chemicals. No additives. Just good old fashioned fruit & water refreshment!
Leave your concoction to sit overnight and strain it as you pour to avoid the floaties! Take it to go by prepping a smaller amount in a water bottle. :)

my body is turning on me!
so sometimes when i travel my body turns on me. there’s no real rhyme or reason to this anomaly. could be no time zone change and i’ll feel awful and could be five time zone changes and feel fine. could be a change in elevation or not. could be a change in climate or not. could be sleeping on a real bed or not. i have no idea why this happens to me and it’s very frustrating.
i spent months without taking any sort of medicine for headaches or body aches or anything and in the last couple weeks i can’t even count how many pills i have taken. it started with camping- understandable. the great outdoors are full of things i’m allergic to. but they never left! i can’t remember the last time i had a 24 hour period without a sinus headache. my eyes are so itchy and watery. and i’m crazy congested and it’s hard to breathe. UNFUN!
so any suggestions to murder these allergies are much appreciated!
