Five years and senventy-five days in a row have passed since I shook off a bad habit of smoking.
I tried increasing the number of push-ups by only one time to 12 times, and
kept more than 9-time push-ups for the fourth straight day.

It's cloudy in Nagoya today and it's shady with the forecast highest temperature
of 10 degrees, much lower than I expected.
Weather officials say the weather is going to take a turn for the worse.
I hope it will not be rainy tomorrow because I want to save on transportation costs
as much as possible.
Anyway, I'm planning to go to Nagoya Agricultural Center in the very near future
to enjoy peach blossoms, which are the most famous in central Japan.

I have succeeded in keeping myself from smoking for five years and seventy-four days in a row.
I was able to keep 11-time push-ups for the second consecutive day and more than
nine-time push-ups for the third successive day.

After a little heavy rain, it's very windy in Nagoya taday.
I must have been lucky because it was a tail wind on my way to the workplace.
On the other hand, I'm afraid of a headwind on my way back home.
This may be a self-serving wish, but I hope the wind will have stopped by then.＾＾；；；
By the way, I bought a pair of headphones for about 1,800 yen at LABI yesterday.
It's really great, compared with 100-yen ones.

I was able to keep no-smoking for five years and severnty-three days in a row.
I tried increasing the number of push-ups by no more than one time to
11 times and kept over 9-time push-ups for the second straight day.

It has been raining but I feel it's not a very cold rain, partly because
the predicted highest temperature is 13 degrees in Nagoya.
I used one day free pass or Do-nichi Eco Kippu in Nagoya, which costs
600 yen per adult and lets us have unlimited access to buses and subway trains.

It has been five years and severnty-two days in a row since I overcame a bad habit of smoking.
I was able to resume push-ups yesterday from 10 times and hope to
keep doing them as long as possible.

I feel it's actually warm and apparently different from winter weather.
I'm not sure about the reason, but maybe the height of the sun and
the angle of sunshine might make me feel it springlike.
Anyway, the best season of peach blossoms is just around the cornter,
and the long-awaited season of cherry blossoms will be in only five weeks.
I can hardly wait.

Five years and seventy-one days have passed since I got rid of my smoking habit.
Because I don't want to chew with my left back teeth, I have stopped doing push-ups
but now I'm wondering if I should restart them before my arms' muscle has been weakened.

It's beautifully sunny again in Nagoya and happily, weahter officials say
tomorrow's highest temperture will be 14 degrees, which means people are
likely to take off winter coats during the warmth.
Indeed, this winter is warmer than usual and I may have to start planning
to go to Nagoya Agricultural Center in Hirabari to enjoy seeing peach blossoms.
The center's weeping peach trees or Shidare Ume is really well known to the public.

I have succeeded in keepin myself from smoking for five years and seventy days in a row.
I did't do push-ups yesterday and today agin I'm not going to do them,
just in case.

I had my hair cut at one of QB's shops for 1,080 yen, which is budget-friendly for anyone.
And I did a walking from Subway Irinaka Station to Subway Mizuho Undoujou Nishi.
It took about 45 minutes, a little shorter than I had expected.
Last night, my earbuds failed to operate properly and now I'm wondering if I should
use a pair of headphones this time.
Well, I got nasal inflammation yesterday while I was on a subway train to Irinaka.
I suspect some ingredient of perfume or something for women is my allergen.
Still now, my nose tickles.
