I have a lot of life, fitness and health goals set for this year. Dealing with food issues has been a life-long struggle and I acknowlege that it will continue to be a life-long journey to improve this part of my life. I feel like I have accepted this, there isn&#8217;t going to be one thing that I do that magically fixes my food issues. I will need to continue to live and work with it for the rest of my life. And it will be a journey that I am finally looking forward to.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of artists that set the tone for their year in this one-word manner. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.daleannepotter.com\/Blog.html\" target=\"_blank\">DaleAnne\u00c2\u00a0is going to be in\u00c2\u00a0Action\u00c2\u00a0<\/a>for 2010, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jenworden.com\/2010\/01\/02\/2010\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jen is looking for the Light<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/cynjonnoah.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cyn is going to Manifest <\/a>this year into something wonderful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was recently reminded, by my friend Jen, about the guiding word method of setting new year resolutions.
