No, not a title boxing match, or a Weight Watchers diet plan, but a flight around the world. The source of transportation? The Voyager, a graphite plane made by the Hercules Aerospace Company, Salt Lake City. The takeoff date is tentatively set for Sept. 14, weather permitting, from Edwards Air Force Base in California, said Richard Rulan, Voyager pilot. If successful, the flight will double the worlds distance record set in 1962.

The plane was designed for d one purpose, a long range flight, he said. The Voyager is an aeronautical trimaran mounted on a main wing, with a wing span of feet comparable to that of a Boeing 727, with a fuselage, a size closer to that of Lindberghs Spirit of St. Louis. The plane composed of 90 percent graphite has ended another era in materials, Rutan said. It is now the end of aluminum airplanes, and is now time for composites.

Rutan referred to the flight as a risk adventure. I have a strong desire to accomplish this mission, but I have a stronger desire to live, he said. It is not a stunt, but its a worth while technology achievement. Yeager said she is attempting the flight for nothing more then the satisfaction of being involved with it. The project started back in 1981 at the Rutan Aircraft Factory in the Mohave Desert, and was first displayed before the The 939 pound aircraft will carry Rutan and Jeana Yeager, no relation to Chuck, more then 24,000 miles, which will include aerial views of South America, Africa, and the Indian Ocean.

She lost the weight and has kept it off for the last four years. She said it took her two years to lose the 50 pounds because she didn't goal-settin- self-estee- g. incorporate exercise. Exercise, change your eating habits, and set goals, make good eating habits a way of life forever, otherwise it will be like any other diet, as soon as you reach your goal weight, you will eat and put it right back on again, she said. The kinds of exercise she does vary. She enjoys softball, tennis and working out with her Jane Kennedy tape. She is an avid runner and runs daily. She said if she cant run every day she is hateful. Also, it helps her to maintain her present weight. Protein choices effect her running performance such as red meat, also sugars and heavy salt intake. You run because you want to feel good and you eat the right food choices, because you want to feel good when you run, she said.

Wasting 28 years of her life before learning the concept of setting goals, she encourages the setting of goals and following through, by: Setting goals with your husband. Don't live two separate lives, encourage and help one another, or if you don't have a husband arm yourself with books that will help and offer encouragement Expect failure, but dont give up, I wouldnt be here if I had given up, she said. Write goals down. She makes a relaxation tape and puts goals on tape to reinforce the positive, a visualization technique followed by a realization procedure of which goal would be reached d, first. One of her goals was to finish the 26.2 mile runners marathon. It took her four hours to finish. She was one of 2,000 participants, 1,000 of whom dropped out during the race. She said running the last six mi les was the hardest thing in her life, but that she learned so much from the marathon, such as endurance, and sticking to a goal. Goals do work if you visualize and talk to yourself about them. I talk to myself as if Ive already achieved, she said. She also suggested making specific tapes for each goal, by doing that it gives me great confidence and helps me to perceive myself that way so that I can achieve and it makes me more of a competitive person, she said. Your mind docs not know the difference between a real thing and an imaginary thing, if you can visualize something long enough it will become as if it had already happened. she said. She keeps a journal but important to her is her future diary. In it she puts ideas, and goals to pursue, also special attributes she sees in others that she would like to emulate. She takes it everywhere she goes and reads it everyday. The things some people would think about and dream about, I pursue, she said. Her goals for the future include, traveling throughout the U.S. to help people get in charge of their lives. Another one of her goals which is quickly becoming a reality is to do a whole body exercise tape where she teaches people not only about exercising their bodies but how to exercise their minds, how to visualize and relax their minds, to set goals and make their own tape and get on with their lives. There is no limit to what you can do, I am no different than any one of you here, you're all unique and special. she said.
