Daily Routine

Push-ups: ０
Walking: ０ minutes
Standing with one leg　：９ minutes each
Cigarettes：０

I didn't do either push-ups or walking, but I resumed standing-with-one-leg.
I kept no-smoking for one year and 296 days in a row.
I really feel that the typhoon #17(?) is steadily coming to Nagoya because the sky is
getting cloudy and darker and darker, and now at about noon it looks like it's going to
start raining very very soon.
I'll really have to be careful and you, too.

Daily Routine

Push-ups: ３１
Walking: ６９＋６５ minutes
Standing with one leg　：０ minutes each
Cigarettes：０

I decreased the number of push-ups yesterday by one time to 31 times, and kept over-30-time
push-ups for the fifth straight day.
I could keep no-smoking for one year and 295 days in a row.
I did a total of over-2-hour walking for the first time in a very very long time.
It's actually cloudy today maybe due to a typhoon which weather forecasts said might pass
through the Japanese archipelago from Sunday to Monday.
I'll really have to careful especially when I ride a bike to commute to my work place.

Daily Routine

Push-ups: ３２
Walking: ６７ minutes
Standing with one leg　：０ minutes each
Cigarettes：０

I really managed to try increasing the number of push-ups by two times to 32 times, and kept
over-30-time push-ups for the fourth straight day.
I also kept no-smoking for one year and 294 days in a row.
Three weeks have passed since I got the symptoms of Hibunsho, and they are now much milder
than the beginning of them.
I mean that the size of the lint in front of my left eye is now much smaller and the lightness
of my left field of view is now much brighter.
Anyway weather reports say the highest temperature in Nagoya will be 31 degrees....I really
hope this will be the last over-30-degree day.

Push-ups: ３０
Walking: ６４ minutes

Cigarettes：０

I did 30-time push-ups yesterday, down one time from the previous record, and kept over-30-
time push-ups for the third straight day.
I could keep no-smoking for one year and 293 days in a row.
Thanks to a plaster, the low back pain I got yesterday is now rather milder...I feel relieved.
The lint in my left field of view due to Hibun-sho is now much smaller than before, and I
really hope the symptoms will disappear completely as soon as possible.
Weather forecasts say the highest temperature in Nagoya will again reach 30 degrees...
It must be abnormal that we have such a prediction....Still be careful about heatstroke.

Push-ups: ３１
Walking: ６０ minutes
Standing with one leg　：９ minutes each
Cigarettes：０

I tried increasing the number of push-ups by just one time to 31 times, and kept over-30-time
push-ups for the second straight day.
I also kept no-smoking for one year and 292 days in a row.
Actually I've got a little backache on the right, so I put a plaster on the painful spot
for the first time in a very long time.
I hope the pain will disappear as soon as possible because I'm planning to do a little long
distance walking in the very near future.
It's greatly sunny again and not-so-humid although the highest temperature will reach 30-
degrees according to weather reports this morning....still 30 degrees?

Push-ups: ３０
Walking: ０ minutes

I resumed standing-with-one-leg and push-ups yesterday from 30 times, the same the number
as the previous record.
I kept no-smoking for one year and 291 days in a row.
Actually it's greatly sunny but not too humid, so I feel it's pretty autumnally crisp.
The lint just in front of my left eye is actually getting smaller and smaller although
it's still here.
I really hope it'll disappear completely as soon as possible, but atually I must be patient.
....Maybe it'll take two more weeks or so....I'm afraid it'll never disappear.
Well, I really have to stop thinking negatively.
That's one of the causes of Hibun-sho...or stress.

Daily Routine

Push-ups: ０
Walking: ９０ minutes
Standing with one leg　：０ minutes each
Cigarettes：０

I didn't do push-ups or standing-with-one-leg simply because I felt I needed a little break
after about 90-minute walking.
I could keep no-smoking for one year and 290 days in a row.
Actually I felt very cold while sleeping in the early morning, so I wore a belly-warmer and
a shoulder-warmer.
Later I learned that the lowest temperature this morning in Nagoya was 17.5 degrees, so
a pair of pajamas for summer was not enough to keep warm to have sound sleep.
Anyway I really have to beware of differences in temperature as autumn approaches.
And maybe you, too.
