Althugh still I felt a little fatigue in my chest muscle, I resumed push-ups yesterday after
a one-day interval from 23 times, down two times from the previous record.
I could keep no-smoking for one year and 142 days in a row.
I'm afraid that I've got a littl pain in my low back for the first time in more than one year.
I really want this pain to disappear as soon as possible and never to come back.

I didn't do push-ups intentionally yesterday because I felt a little pain and fatigue in my
chest's muscle, and I hope to resume them as soon as possible.
I kept no-smoking for one year and 141 days in a row.
Actually it's a little too hot today, but it may get a little cold late at night, so I have
to bring a thin jacket or a windbreaker to my work place though it's a little bothersome.

Daily Routine

Push-ups: ２５
Walking: １６０ minutes
Standing with one leg　：０ minutes each
Cigarettes：０

I tried increasing the number of push-ups by just one time for the second straight day to
25 times, and kept over-20-time push-ups for the third straight day after a two-day break.
I could keep no-smoking for one year and 140 days although still I sometimes really feel
like smoking to the extent I am about to smoke.
Anyway it's greatly sunny and it's like one of the typical crisp early-summer days, so
I went to Meijo Kouen to enjoy wisteria trellises, but I'm afraid they were not in full swing.

Daily Routine

Push-ups: ２４
Walking: １５＋１５ minutes
Standing with one leg　：７ minutes each
Cigarettes：０

I wish I could have enough time to be here today.

I successfully resumed push-ups from 23 times, down 2 times from the previous record.
I kept no-smoking for one year and 138 days in a row.
It's actually raining AGAIN ....I think we have too many rainy days in Nagoya this year, don't you?
But according to weather reports, it will get rather hot like one of the typical summer days from
tomorrow, so I'll have to be careful about heat stroke.

Daily Routine

I didn't do push-ups for the second straight day because I felt a little pain in my left shoulder,
so I thought I had better stop doing them and see how things go.
I could keep no-smoking for one year and 137 days in a row.
Actually it's greatly sunny again in Nagoya although there is a little yellow sand from China.
I've noticed flowers on a wisteria trellis on my way to the work place have begun blossoming,
and I'll have to plan to go somewhere to enjoy them...maybe around Nagoya Castle.

Daily Routine

Walking: ２０＋１５＋２０ minutes

I didn't do push-ups yesterday because actually it was so COLD and I didn't feel like doing them.
I tried increasing the length of standing-with-one-leg by one minute each to 7 minutes.
I kept no-smoking for one year and 136 days in a row.
It's warm....maybe a little hot today just like one of the early-summer days, but it's not so
humid, so I feel crisp while riding a bike on my way to the work place.
I really want to enjoy today's sun shine after two cold and rainy days.
