I have succeeded in preventing myself from smoking for six years and two hundred and thirty-four days in a row.
I was able to keep 26-time push-ups for the fourth successive day and at least
16-time push-ups for the one hundred and eighty-first straight day.

It's hot and humid today again in Nagoya, and I really felt fed up with the
muggy weather while riding my bike on my way to the workplace.
Basically, this year's rainy season brought much less precipitation in Nagoya,
and what is worse, Nagoya saw much fewer cloudy days than usual.
Which means there have been much more scorching and humid days than usual.
Anyway, I have to survive.....I have to keep myself together.＾＾；；；

Daily Routine

Push-ups ：２６ times
Walking ：３０ minutes
Standing on one foot　：１２ minutes each
Cigarettes ：０
jogging-on-the-spot　：０ minutes

I have been able to do without smoking for six years and two hundred and thirty-three days in a row.
I was able to keep over 15-time push-ups for the one hundred and eightieth consecutive day
including the most recent three days of 26 times of them.

It's quite cloudy in Nagoya now and it was raining sometimes heavily in the morning.
It looks it's going to start raining again soon.
I'm wondering if the shrilling of cicadas is likely to get stronger after rain.
Anyway, I'm really fed up with the abnormally high humidity in Nagoya.
I have no choice but to endure.

I was able to keep no-smoking for six years and two hundred and thirty-two days in a row.
I was also able to keep 26-time push-ups for the second successive day and
more than 15-time push-ups for the one hundred and seventy-ninth straight day.

It's sunny and sometimes cloudy in Nagoya today and I've noticed that the
shrilling of cicadas on my way to the workplace has already been weakened.
Their longevity is really short.
Anyway, theoretically, the year's hottest period is only another week.
Let's survive this summer without any accidents.

Six years and two hundred and thirty days in a row have passed since I broke free from cigarettes.
I was able to keep 25-time push-ups for the twenty-fourth successive day and
over 15-time push-ups for the one hundred and seventy-seventh straight day.

After a heavy rain last night or early this morning, it's coudy and sometimes
sunny in Nagoya with high humidity, but actually, the temperatures are not high.
The predicted highest temperature will be below 30 degrees or just 30, which will
make me feel relieved a little for the first time in a long time.
Anyway, the shrilling of cicadas on my way to the workplace has risen to a peak.
