I was able to keep no-smoking for five years and 322 days in a row.
I also was able to keep over 17-time push-ups for the twelfth consecutive day
including the latest nine days of 20 times of them.

Very happily, it's got much warmer than yesterday with the predicted highest
temperature of 25 degrees.
Yesterday was unbelievably cold, I felt, and I used an oil heater for about
20 minutes and an air conditioner for the first time this fall.
Because yesterday's chilliness was severe, I really feel now that today's
warmth is one of the greatest gifts from nature....though it may be an exaggeration.＾＾；；；

Daily Routine

Push-ups：２０＋１０ times
Walking　：４０＋４０＝１ hour ２０ minutes
Standing on one foot　：０ minutes each
Cigarettes：０
jogging-on-the-spot　：０ minutes

It has been five years and 321 days in a row since I stopped smoking.
I was able to keep 20-time push-ups for the eighth successive day and
more than 17-time push-ups for the eleventh straight day.

I was lucky this morning because I had almost no rain on my way to the workplace
by bike, and now it's started raining with much lower temperatures than yesterday.
Weather ladies say, however, it'll be warm or may get hot tomorrow with the
predicted highest temperature of 25 degrees.
This temperature difference must be severe for me, so, I really have to be
careful not to catch a cold this weekend because it will be cool or chilly again.

Cigarettes：０
jogging-on-the-spot　：０ minutes

Five years and 320 days in a row have passed since I gave up smoking.
I was able to keep at least 18-time push-ups for the tenth consecutive day
including the most recent seven days of 20 times of them.

It's sunny but actually I feel a little too cool, or more like a little chilly.
I used the expression of "or more like" for the second straight day because
I know the best thing to master a word is to use it.
I might use it for the next few days.＾＾；
Anyway, I hope to enjoy a middle-distance walking in the near future
before it gets cold.

I have succeeded in preventing myself from smoking for five years and 319 days in a row.
I was able to keep 20-time push-ups for the sixth successive day and over
17-time push-ups for the ninth straight day.

I'm afraid it's cloudy in Nagoya today and I feel a little cold, or more like,
a little chilly, and so I have to wear one more piece of clothing.
The landscape around here has drastically changed because the color of rice paddies
has completely turned yellow after reaping, which makes me feel
I have to begin fresh preparations for the next advancement.

I was able to keep no-smoking for five years and 318 days in a row.
I also was able to keep over 17-time push-ups for the eighth consecutive
day including the latest five days of 20-time push-ups.

It's cloudy in Nagoya and I feel it's a little cold rather than cool,
which makes me feel this year's winter is just coming soon.
I usually start using an electric foot warmer from late October, so
I may have to prepare for it in a few days.
Anyway, I have to get mentally prepared for the coming winter.

It has been five years and 317 days in a row since I quit smoking.
I was able to keep 20-time push-ups for the fourth successive day and
more than 17-time push-ups for the seventh straight day.

It's sunny and I feel it's a little cool today in Nagoya.
I'd like to enjoy walking on such a typically autumnal day.
Anyway, fall is too short to enjoy its nice weather to my heart's content.
Winter will come soon, so I'd like to do a middle-distance walking
in the near future before it's got too cold.
