I was able to keep no-smoking for seven years and seventy days in a row.
I was also able to keep 23-time push-ups for the eleventh successive day and
greater than 15-time push-ups for the one year and seventeenth straight day.

It's sunny in Nagoya but actually, it's very windy.
While riding my bike on my way to the workplace in the morning, it was easy
because of the strong tail wind.
On the other hand, to the extent of the strength of the tail wind,
I'm very afraid of a headwind on my way back.

It has been seven years and sixty-nine days in a row since I broke free from cigarettes.
I was able to keep at least 16-time push-ups for the one year and sixteenth
consecutive day including the most recent ten days of 23 times of them.

I feel the wintry cold is milder again in Nagoya for the second successive day.
Weahter reports say the highest temperature will be ten degrees, down 3 degrees
from yesterday, but actually the sunlight may make me feel the cold milder.
Weather ladies also say the strong cold air mass will come down to Japan.
At the moment, I'm ready for the forthcoming cold in order to survive this winter.

Cigarettes ：０
jogging-on-the-spot　：７ minutes and ３０ seconds

Seven years and sixty-eight days in a row have passed since I gave smoking.
I was able to keep 23-time push-ups for the ninth successive day and over
15-time push-ups for the one year and fifteenth straight day.

The weather forecasts have proved right and it's actually much warmer.
Especially weather ladies say today's highest temperature will be 13 degrees,
up as many as 3 degrees from yesterday.
If it's 14 degrees, you will not have to wear a winter coat.
So, to be 13 degrees means that it's pretty warm for February.
I really want to enjoy such a warmer-than-usual day.

I have succeeded in preventing myself from smoking for seven years and sixty-seven days in a row.
I was able to keep more than 15-time push-ups for the one year and fourteenth
straight day including the latest eight days of 23-time push-ups.

I feel the highest temperatue today seems to surpass 10 degrees indeed, just
as weather officials said yesterday, but actually still it's cold.
They say such a day will continue for four days but on Sunday it will again
get cold......I really have to get mentally prepared for it.
I'm really afraid that my heart may be broken off by the predicted cold.
Anyway, now, I may start looking forward to the signs of blooming of plum blossoms.

I have been able to do without smoking for seven years and sixty-six days in a row.
I was able to keep 23-time push-ups for the seventh straight day and greater than
15-time push-ups for the one year and thirteenth consecutive day.

Acutally, it's still very very cold and there have been much more days with lowest
temperatures of "below zero" than the average year.
I've been fed up with such cold days and I'm now wondering if we are really facing
the global warming.＾＾；；；
Anyway, I have to renew my determination to survive this persostent cold.

I was able to keep no-smoking for seven years and sixty-five days in a row.
I was also able to keep at least 16-time push-ups for the one year and twelfth
successive day including the most recent six days of 23 times of them.

Again, this morning's lowest temprature was under zero degrees.
And still the forecasted highest temperature is only 6 or 7 degrees and
what is worse, with cold north winds.
I really hope such a cold day will be the last tomorrow, which is also predicted
to be very cold.
However, weather ladies say that highest temperatures will be above 10 degrees
after tomorrow, which I really hope must come true.
