I really know exactly how you feel. I am a bit melancholy today myself. I am getting better about this, though. A long time ago I was seeing a counselor and I confided that sometimes I work so hard toward a goal, or build something up so much in my mind that by the time the event actually arrives I have completely destroyed my ability to even enjoy myself-to be present in the moment. I have gotten a lot better about this, though and am learning to be more at peace with the time at hand, and not always maniacally planning ahead for everything.
Besides the WW, what other goals do you have for the new year?
Here are a few of mine:
Run at LEAST 4 days a week.
Yoga AT LEAST 3 days a week
Train for a half marathon which comes in May
Develop a better daily structure in my life
Yell less
Smile more
Breathe deeply before speaking
