Daily Routine

Push-ups: ２５
Walking: ６５＋６５ minutes
Standing with one leg　：８ minutes each
Cigarettes：０

Again I tried increasing the number of push-ups by just one time to 25 times, and kept over-
20-time push-ups for the fourth straight day.
I also kept no-smoking for one year and 166 days in a row.
I resumed a little long-distance walking, totaling 2 hours and 10 minutes yesterday.
After I try extending walking distance without a rest little by little, I'm going to try
a 400-meter-high mountain.
Actually I've decided to stop climbing Mt. Tado in Mie Prefecture, which I've climbed several
times so far, because I'm really afraid of wild monkeys which are easily coming up to people.
Maybe some people must have made take to feeding.....I hate that.

Daily Routine

Push-ups: ２４
Walking: ０ minutes
Standing with one leg　：８ minutes each
Cigarettes：０

I tried increasing the time of standing-with-one-lege by one minute to eight minutes each.
Also agian I did 24-time push-ups, up one time from the previous record, and kept over-20-
time push-ups for the third straight day.
I could keep no-smoking for one year and 165 days in a row.
It's greatly sunny today and a little hot, actually.
I'm afraid I've not done walking recently...I have to get used to a long-distance walking
because I'm planning to go and climb a 400-meter-class mountain in the near future.

Push-ups: ２３
Walking: ３８＋３８ minutes
Standing with one leg　：７ minutes each
Cigarettes：０

I tried increasing the number of push-ups by one time to 23 times and kept over-20-time push-ups
for the second straight day.
I also kept no-smoking for one year and 164 days in a row.
It's quite cloudy and sometimes a little rainy today.
It must be lucky that yesterday's weather was not like today's weather.
If it had been so, I could not have watched the annular eclipse yesterday.
Anyway since it's after the eclipse, I'll allow it to be heavily rainy today.＾＾；；；

Daily Routine

Push-ups: ２２
Walking: ４５ minutes
Standing with one leg　：７ minutes each
Cigarettes：０

I resumed push-ups after a one-day break from 22 times, down one time from the previous record.
I could keep no-smoking for one year and 163 days in a row.
Actually I must have been lucky because I enjoyed the annular eclipse this morning at 7:31 although
weather forecasts said it would be cloudy and difficult to see the solar eclipse.
I only enjoyed it for several minutes because the sun went into a cloud just after the shape changed
into a ring, but, anyway, it's very beautiful.
Reports say we will be able to see another annular eclipse in Nagoya in 2041....Well, I really hope
to be still alive then....and I really want to use the solar eclipse glasses again.

Push-ups: ０
Walking: ０ minutes

Cigarettes：０

I didn't do push-ups intentionally yesterday simply because I felt a little pain and fatigue
in my breast and I thought it would be better to stop them.
I kept no-smoking for one year and 162 days in a row.
So far I've felt normal since no medicine for my boukou-en got needed according to a doctor.
I hope my condition will continue to be usual.
Anyway tomorrow morning is the time of the first annular eclipse in Nagoya in about 930 years.
I'm really looking forward to it...but it's likely to be cloudy....I have to pray.

Again, I tried increasing the number of push-ups by one time to 23 times, and could keep over-
20-time push-ups for the third straight day.
I also could keep no-smoking for one year and 161 days in a row.
I went to see a doctor for my boukou-en for the third time, and no medicine was prescribed.
The doctor said we'll see how things go for two weeks without medicine, and then I have to
take a urine test on June 1st.
The test I took yesterday showed two＋ of occult blood.
I hope there will be nothing bad for these two weeks.
