	O.K. Right now I'm trying to get off that half inch ( closer
to an inch ) of fat around my waist. I right now do about forty min-
utes on a bicycle called the windracer or forty minutes on a stair 
climber or Concept 2 rowing machine. I usually four or five of these
aerobic workouts a week plus weights.
	Well my question is whether since the legs is the predominant
part of the body used in these workouts will it still burn off the fat
around my waist? ( I have virtually no fat around my legs ).
	Also, does lifting weights at least encourage fat reduction
in the muscle group being worked on?
	Plus I've just had three hamburgers at Mcdonald's plus a large
fries and a coke and frankly I'm a bit worried I've ruined a lot of 
the aerobics I've been doing. Well, how much does fast foods set back 
your training.Keep in mind, even though I'm fourteen I'd like to be in 
optimal shape.I've cut virtually all fatty foods and I'm probably
having about forty to fifty grams of fat a day. I've cut ALL junk food
and anything that JOE WEIDER THE GREATEST MAN OF ALL KIND AND TRAINER
OF CHAMPIONS SINCE 1936 wouldn't recommend. ( the thing in capitals is
just slightly sarcastic ) Basically I'm having the most perfect diet
virtually possible. ( that may be a little exaggerated ) This is of 
course not considering the little fast food binge I had tonight. So 
I'm wondering how bad it would be if I had KFC or Harvey's once a 
month or so. So while we're on the topic of fat I'm wondering if 
people post in facts on how fatty some things are. For example I only
just found out that donair meat is extremely fatty. Aaaaaaaaargh!
So are they are ANY good foods out there that actually taste fairly
good too? And not just fruits. You see I'm able to survive the whole
day but when I sit down at night to watch TV it's hard not to think 
of days of old when Doritos would be comforting me instead of spinach.
	Finally I'm trying to prepare for the 1500 and 3000 meters 
next year at the track and field meet and I'm hoping to do VERY WELL.
I want to go in with an attitude of one of the Eastern Bloc countries
of old. 
Coach: You did not get gold? You've digraced your country. Be ashamed
       of yourself. Silver is worth nothing. You here?
Athlete: But coach I competed with a broken leg!
My time for the mile is 6:41 on a track that is 260 some odd meters
long. I expect the winning time to be about 5:30.So any tips to imp-
rove my time would be greatly welcomed. Keep in mind I time myself 
right after forty minute workout.Thanks All for reading this whole 
post.

Thought of the day: Have you noticed Joe Weider has a principle
		    for EVERYTHING? God, of course ther's no other way
		    to make it to the top of bodybuilding because
		    he promotes nearly all theories possible in 
		    building muscle. Whenever I think of a Stephen Hare
		    training principle it falls under his bloody
		    Weider Instinctive training principle!--
