Daily Routine

Push-ups ：１８ times
Walking ：６４ minutes
Standing on one foot　：１０ minutes each
Cigarettes ：０
jogging-on-the-spot　：１０ minutes

Eight years and fifty-three days in a row have passed since I gave up smoking.
I was able to keep greater than 9-time push-ups for the fifth successive
day including the most recent two days of 18-time push-ups.

It's quite cloudy and a little dark in Nagoya.
And it looks like it's going to start raining prettey soon, but actually
I don't feel it's very cold.
Weather ladies say it will rain from 3 p.m. to late-evening.
They also say there is some possibility of snowfall late in the evening.
Anyway, I have to take an umbrella with me even if it is not raining now.

Daily Routine

Push-ups ：１８ times
Walking ：６１ minutes
Standing on one foot　：１０ minutes each
Cigarettes ：０
jogging-on-the-spot　：１０ minutes

I have succeeded in preventing myself from smoking for eight years and
fifty-two days in a row.
I tried increasing the number of push-ups again by only one time to 18
times and kept at least 10-time push-ups for the fourth consecutive day.

It is sunny in Nagoya and I feel the winter cold is milder than yesterday
though it was very cold in the early morning with the lowest temperature
of minus one degree.
Weather ladies say the highest temperature in Nagoya will be as high as
13 degrees on Monday or February 4th which is called Risshun.
So, anyway, all I have to do is to keep bearing the cold weather for
the next few days.

Daily Routine

Push-ups ：１７ times
Walking ：０ minutes
Standing on one foot　：１０ minutes each
Cigarettes ：０
jogging-on-the-spot　：１０ minutes

I have been able to do without smoking for eight years and fifty-one days in a row.
I was able to increase the number of push-ups by two times to 17 times
and keep over 9-time push-ups for the third successive day.

It is sunny in Nagoya but I feel it is very cold especially early morning.
I'm afraid that, according to weather reports last night, it will snowy
or rainy on Thursday and Sunday.
I well know I have to experience intense cold to see cherry blossoms in spring
and that winter never fails to become spring.....
but even so, I really hope this year's winter continues to be milder than usual.
Anyway, I have to come through the predicted cold.

Daily Routine

Push-ups ：１５ times
Walking ：４８ minutes
Standing on one foot　：１０ minutes each
Cigarettes ：０
jogging-on-the-spot　：７ minutes

I was able to keep no-smoking for eight years and fifty days in a row.
I tried increasing the number of push-ups by 5 times to 15 times, and
kept more than 9-time push-ups for the second straight day.

It's very very cold and a little dark due to thick clouds in Nagoya.
The temperature is now as low as 6.7 degrees.
Anyway I need much more sunlight.
According to weather officials on TV, now is in the center of the codest
period of the coldest season or Daikan.
Since this winter season has been with tendency to a mild winter,
I feel this cold weather is really tough.

Daily Routine

Push-ups ：１０ times
Walking ：０ minutes
Standing on one foot　：８ minutes each
Cigarettes ：０
jogging-on-the-spot　：５ minutes

It has been eight years and forty-nine days in a row since I quit smoking.

After a persistent low back pain, I managed to resume push-ups from 10 times,
standing on one foot from ８ minutes each and jogging-on-the-spot from ５ minutes.
I really hope to increase the amount of physical exercises little by little.
Anyway, today's morning was likely to be the coldest in this winter season.
And after I survive one more week, I might be able to pass through the coldest
period and milder days might be waiting for me......I hope so.

Daily Routine

Push-ups ：０ times
Walking ：４８ minutes
Standing on one foot　：５ minutes each
Cigarettes ：０
jogging-on-the-spot　：０ minutes

Eight years and forty-eight days in a row have passed since I decided against smoking.

I was able to do a 48-minute walking last night since I didn't feel any pain
in my low back due to a pill of LOXONIN, and I resumed standing on one foot for 5 minutes.
I'm planning to resume push-ups today from much fewer times than the previous
records because I think the low back pain I got last Sunday has almost completely gone.
I hope to resume all kinds of physical exercises little by little as part of
preparation for a 4-hour walking planned in this year's spring.

I have succeeded in preventing myself from smoking for eight years and
forty-seven days in a row.

Unlike yesterday's predicted lowest temperature of 3 degrees, the actual
lowest temperature this morning was minus 0.4 degrees.
I was shocked and at the same time I felt relieved because I wore
one thicker item of clothing just in case before going to bed last night.
Weather reports say Nagoya might see a little snowfall at around 3 p.m.
I hope this forecast will not be correct.
Anyway I have to survive this winter cold.
