Re: How do I attempt to change that?

I have had good success with defining the four weekly classes as "something I do every week, barring emergencies." I was becoming exhausted deciding whether or not to train each night, so I redefined it as not a decision, and that was much easier. (Like another poster, I now feel bad if I don't go, which is not so good.)

But I'm at the point where I have to do something more than going to class or I will not have the endurance to get through my next test. I went to the gym with my dad twice a week for about six months, but it got more and more boring and when I had occasion not to go for a few weeks, I fell off the wagon.

It is so easy to take the bus, or walk slowly, or avoid a hill even though I know that what I really need is to push myself harder. Being tired *hurts*. I'm still looking for a workable long-term strategy here. (I don't have a car, so I can't give up driving!)
