It has been three years and 197 days in a row since I kicked smoking.
I managed to increase the number of push-ups by twenty times to two sets of twenty-
time push-ups and kept over one set of 15 times of them for the twelfth straight day.
After a cloudy day, it's actually sunny, I mean there are no clouds blocking sunshine.
It's pretty hot today and I hesitate to do any walking during the daytime.
Anyway this year's severe summer season is steadily drawing nearer and nearer, so
I really have to get mentally prepared, first.

Three years and 196 days in a row have passed since I gave up smoking.
I was able to keep over one set of 20-time push-ups for the sixth consecutive day
and over one set of 15-time push-ups for the eleven successive day.
After a warm rain, I feel humidity has got much lower than yesterday and I feel
a brisk breeze today.
Recently I've begun feeling economics is getting a little interesting thanks to
an introduction to economics written by Mr. Mankiw.
Anyway I hope to continute reading for some time.

I was able to keep no-smoking for three years and 194 days in a row.
I decreased the number of push-ups by one set of 20-time push-ups to one set of them
but kept over 15-time push-ups for the ninth straight day.
Actually I only forgot to do a second set of push-ups last night.
Unlike yesterday, it's humid today and pretty cloudy.
By the way......I may feel a little tough to have heard the news that Erika Ikuta
will suspend her activities as a member of Nogizaka 46....＾＾；；；

It has been three years and 193 days in a row since I quit smoking.
I did two sets of 20-time push-ups for the first time in a long time and kept over
one set of 15-time push-ups for the eighth successive day.
I also did 10-minute jogging-on-the-spot for the first time in a very long time, and
I hope to continue this as long as possible.
It's sunny today in Nagoya and actually it's a little hot although weather reports
say the highest temperature will be below 30 degrees.
I may not have a chance of doing a middle-distance walking due to such a heat.

Three years and 192 days in a row have passed since I stopped smoking.
I was able to keep over one set of 15-time push-ups for the seventh consecutive day
including the last two days of one set of 20 times.
It's raining a little in Nagoya but actually not heavier than predicted.
The best thing for me is lower temperatures than average.
I wanted to do walking but a little rain has made me decide not to do.
Maybe I'll have a second chance.

I was able to keep no-smoking for three years and 191 days in a row.
I was also able to increase the number of push-ups by one time to twenty times and kept
over one set of 15-time push-ups for the sixth straight day.
It's pretty cloudy and humid in Nagoya and I feel it's good that clouds are blocking
severe sunshine.
But high humidity prevents me from doing a middle-distance walking.
Anyway I'd really like to do one in the very near future if weather permits.
