I have succeeded in preventing myself from smoking for six years and three hundred and forty-nine days in a row.
I did 25-time push-ups yesterday, down three times from the previous record due
mainly to the wintry cold, but I was able to keep over 15-time push-ups for the
two hundred and ninety-sixth straight day.

It's sunny in the morning but actually now it's cloudy and dark with pretty
strong winds which are rather cold winds.
Weather officials say the highest temperatures in Nagoya are likely to
continue to rise for the nest several days, which makes me want to believe them.
These forecasts must and have to be right....Please.＾＾；；
Anyway, I have no choice but to pray that normal weather in November will come back soon.

Daily Routine

Push-ups ：２８ times

Standing on one foot　：１０ minutes each
Cigarettes ：０
jogging-on-the-spot　：０ minutes

I have been able to do without smoking for six years and three hundred and forty-eight days in a row.
I was able to keep 28-time push-ups for the seventy-second consecutive day and
more than 15-time push-ups for the two hundred and ninety-fifth successive day.

It's cloudy and a little dark in Nagoya but actually the temperatures are around
10 degrees, so the wintry cold is milder than yesterday.
I still don't believe today is November...it must be too cold for November.
By the way, I'm challenging how long I can do without an air conditioner in my
room and an foot warmer at my workplace.
....Maybe, until today or tomorrow....I'm about to be beyond the limit of my patince.

I was able to keep no-smoking for six years and three hundred and forty-seven days in a row.
I was also able to keep at least 16-time push-ups for the two hundred and ninety-fourth
straight day including the most recent seventy-one days of 28-time push-ups.

In sharp constrast to yesterday, it is beautifully sunny today in Nagoya and I could
enjoy seeing Mt. Ontake the top of which is covered with snow in the far distance.
I can see that only during the wintertime.
Whenever I see it, I feel winter has come.
But if I look at it in a positive light, this means spring is drawing nearer.
So I may have to start looking forward to spring.
Actually, today's lowest temperature in Nagoya is 3 degrees, which might have made
cherry trees start preparing for next year's blooming....
Well, it might be a little too overstated, today again.

It has been six years and three hundred and forty-six days in a row since I broke free from smoking.
I was able to keep 28-time push-ups for the seventieth consecutive day and
over 15-time push-ups for the two hundred and ninety-third successive day.

It's been very very cold in Nagoya with the lowest temperature of below 5
degrees and the highest temperature of around 10 degrees, which is just
like mid or late December.
This year's Novemver might be the coldest in my experience in the last ten years.
....Well, it might be a little too overstated.＾＾；
Anyway, the indisputable fact is that I have to take utmost precaution
against catching a cold....and maybe you too.

I'm very much afraid that I don't have enough time to be here today.
