Daily Routine

Walking: a total of ５０ minutes
Standing with one leg　：０ minutes each
Cigarettes：０
jogging on the spot　：０ minutes

I could keep no-smoking for two years and 345 days in a row.
I decreased the number of push-ups to one set of 17-time push-ups but kept over
one set of them for the thirty consective day.
It's sunny and I feel a little warmer than yesterday.
Weather forecasts say the highest temperature will not reach 20 degrees this week,
and I think it will never come until next spring....maybe.
Anyway wintery cold is steadily coming little by litte and this means
the season of cherry blossoms is also coming little by little.
