#4 Activity - Get that Six Pack flat Stomache

So you always wanted a flat stomache and now you have the time to do it.

First off, let's be realistic.  Six packs are hard to get - it's more than building the stomache muscle,
it's also about getting rid of the fat around the stomache.

First off - if you are not in shape, get in shape.  Increase your physical activites, I would say that you should get a medical check up first but most unemployed people don't have insurance.  So be prudence.

1.  Diet - you need to cut down on fat and carbohydrate.  No is not short cut around it.  Stomache is probably the last place where the fat will come off.  So start now

2. Increase your general physical activities. Walk more, run more.

3. Now the exercise - crunches are good.   This site has good instructions on how to do crunches

There will be a follow up blog on a more detailed program

#3 Activity: Eat Healthier and Save Money

Here's the #3 unemployment activity.

Take a look at what you are eating.  For most people, you can eat healthier and save at the same time.
If you are not into vegetable, you should give it a try.  Try buying vegetable on sales to start off - farmer markets usually offer better price.  Summer time is usually a great time to try out farmer market.

Here's  the steps you can take:

1) give salad a try.  Find a dressing that you like - perhaps a light dressing will do.

2) cucumber can be a light side to your main dish

3)  try grilling vegetable and fruits - grilling fruits will caramelize the sugar and make them super
      sweet - you can use peaches, pineapple works extremely well

4) use lettuce as a wrap - wrap it around grilled chicken makes for  a perfect finger food.


Take one step at a one time - time is what you have a lot right now!

#2 Activity: Clean out your Storage or Garage

Well, now is a great time to clean out your storage or garage. There is no use to keep useless junks. Recycle, trash, donate, or even sell useless junks.  It might be a treasure to someone else.

Old magazines are newspapers are probably of no use to anyone. So recycle those.

As for old electronics, most stuffs people don't want.  Look for a collection schedule from the waste company or city. Some do take electronics for free during certain time of the year.

If you have enough sellable stuffs - why not get a ready for a garage sales!

#1 Activity - Make Amend for Slighting an Ex-girlfriend

So now that you have a lot of time.  Go through your memory, probably good to start with an ex-girlfriend. 

First, think about how you might have slighted her.

Now go find her contact information - BTW, if she does not want to be found then don't.

Otherwise, contact her and offer a sincere apology and an explaination of the slight.

If you are not interested in getting back together, be forthright about it. 

Congratuation for a well done job once this is done.
