Daily Routine

Push-ups ：１８ times
Walking ：a total of ３０ minutes
Standing on one foot　：１０ minutes each
Cigarettes ：０
jogging-on-the-spot　：０ minutes

I have been able to do without smoking for seven years and two hundred and
fifty-nine days in a row.
I tried increasing the number of push-ups by three times to 18 times and
kept greater than 12-time push-ups for the seventy-second consecutive day.

I got another low back pain last night and I was foolish and careless.
I thought I completely made a habit of supporting my body with either arm
in order to prevent low back pain, but actually last night, I picked up
something inadvertently with both my arms, remaining seated.
Very fortunately, the pain was not so strong and now I feel it's getting
milder and milder little by little.
I've renewed my determination to continue to guard against low back pain
for the rest of my life.

Daily Routine

Push-ups ：１５ times
Walking ：０ minutes
Standing on one foot　：１０ minutes each
Cigarettes ：０
jogging-on-the-spot　：０ minutes

I was able to keep no-smoking for seven years and two hundred and fifty-eight days in a row.
I reduced the number of push-ups, just to be safe, by as many as eight times
to 15 times yesterday due mainly to the low back pain I got two days ago.
I kept at least 13-time push-ups for the seventy-first straight day.
It's quite cloudy in Nagoya today after a very heavy rain and a stormy wind
which had continued for several hours since last nihgt.
Nagoya was very lucky because I've heard there have been no casualties so far.

Daily Routine

Push-ups ：２３ times
Walking ：２２ minutes
Standing on one foot　：１０ minutes each
Cigarettes ：０
jogging-on-the-spot　：０ minutes

It has been seven years and two hundred and fifty-seven days in a row
since I broke free from smoking.
I was able to keep 23-time push-ups for the twelfth consecutive day and
over 12-time push-ups for the seventieth successive day.

It's cloudy and very humid in Nagoya since the typhoon #20 is coming
nearer and nearer and the southerly damp atmosphere is also coming.
Very unfortunately, it was very very tough for me to ride a bike
on my way to the workplace because of the strong southerly head wind.
I hope I will be pushed by a tail wind on my way back from the workplace.
Anyway, I'll have to be really careful about the typhoon.
By the way, I've got a little strong low back pain since yesterday.

Seven years and two hundred and fifty-six days in a row have passed
since I overcame a bad habit of smoking.
I was able to keep more than 12-time push-ups for the sixty-ninth
straight day including the latest eleven days of 23 times of them.

It's greatly sunny in Nagoya today and it's actually very hot with
the predicted highest temperature of 35 degrees.
And I'm afraid that this sunny weather might be a lull before the
storm or the typhoon #20.
The typhoon is likely to affect my work tomorrow.
I really hope that the typhoon's path will be far away from Nagoya.
Anyway, I have to be careful about its path.

I have succeeded in preventing myself from smoking for seven years and two hundred and
fifty-five days in a row.
I was able to keep 23-time push-ups for the tenth straight day and greater
than 12-time push-ups for the sixty-eighth successive day.

Early in the morning before dawn, there was a sudden heavy rain, but now
it's stably sunny in Nagoya now with plenty of sunlight.
It is strong, indeed, but I feel it's not so abnormally scorching.
By the way, I don't know the reason exactly, but I feel not completely well.
I felt my body was so heavy while doing push-ups.
....I'm afraid I might have drunk a little too much.....I'm not sure.

I have been able to do without smoking for seven years and two hundred and fifty-four
days in a row.
I was able to keep at least 13-time push-ups for the sixty-seventh consecutive day
including the most recent nine days of 23-time push-ups.

It's normally sunny today in Nagoya and sometimes it's cloudy.
The humidity is not so high and sometimes I feel a little cold while I am in the
wind from an electric fan.
Now I think I have to resume and continue walking before my legs' muscle has got rusty.
And I have to start preparing for a middle-distance walking planned in this fall.
One thing I would like to do this fall is to go to a small waterfall in Gifu prefecture.
Anyway, I have to start walking again.
