Push-ups :25 times
Walking : 42 minutes
Standing on one foot :0 minutes each
Cigarettes :0
jogging-on-the-spot :25 minutes



I have succeeded in preventing myself from smoking for eight years and
one hundred and thirty-four days in a row.
I was able to keep 25-time push-ups for the fifth straight day and more
than 20-time push-ups for the twenty-eighth consecutive day.

It is sunny in Nagoya and it was actually a little hot while I was riding
my bike on my way to the workplace in the morning.
Weather ladies say Nagoya will see the highest temperature of 27 degrees.
Today again, I saw as many as three heinous drivers skimming my bike.
Every time I feel a fear of death by crazy drivers, I renew my determination
not to do anything good for the rest of my life.

Push-ups :25 times
Walking : 53 minutes
Standing on one foot :10 minutes each
Cigarettes :0
jogging-on-the-spot :25 minutes



I have been able to do without smoking for eight years and one hundred
and thirty-three days in a row.
I was able to keep greater than 20-time push-ups for the twenty-seventh
successive day including the latest four days of 25-time push-ups.

It is sunny in Nagoya and sometimes cloudy but actually I feel it's warm.
I guess the reason why I feel it's warm is high humidity, which means,
just like weather ladies say, rainy clouds are coming nearer and nearer.
I'm afraid that the forecasted rainy days, which are predicted to be
from Wednesday to Friday, are highly likely to interrupt the preparation
for a long-distance walking scheduled for next month.

Push-ups :25 times
Walking : a total of 2 hours and 05 minutes
Standing on one foot :10 minutes each
Cigarettes :0
jogging-on-the-spot :0 minutes



I was able to keep no-smoking for eight years and one hundred and
thirty-two days in a row.
I was also able to keep 25-time push-ups for the third straight day
and at least 21-time push-ups for the twenty-sixth consecutive day.

Today again, it is greatly sunny in Nagoya and I feel it's pretty warm.
Just after I got up this morning, I thought I might have caught a cold.
Because I had a little sore throat, a little runny nose and a slight fever.
I took a medicine just in case.
I'm wondering how I can tell the difference between hay fever and a cold.
Anyway, it would be better to nip evil in the bud.

Push-ups :25 times
Walking : 45 minutes
Standing on one foot :10 minutes each
Cigarettes :0
jogging-on-the-spot :25 minutes



It has been eight years and one hundred and thirty-one days in a row
since I broke free from cigarettes.
I was able to keep over 20-time push-ups for the twenty-fifth successive
day including the most recent two days of 25-time push-ups.

It has been cloudy in Nagoya and now it is a little dark and looks like
it is going to start raining pretty soon.
I am planning to do a walking, so I think it would be better to take
a folding umbrella with me.
By the way, I have to say it is truely troublesome to receive cold callings.
That's really disgusting and exactly unnecessary waste of time.

Push-ups :25 times
Walking : 0 minutes

Cigarettes :0

Eight years and one hundred and thirty days in a row have passed since I gave up smoking.
I was able to increase the number of push-ups by onlu one time to 25 times
and kept more than 20-time push-ups for the twenty-fourth consecutive day.

After a long rain yesterday, it is now greatly sunny in Nagoya.
I enjoyed seeing the blue sky with no clouds while riding the bike on my
way to the workplace in the morning.
The callouse people of the first floor tenant are as disgusting as always.
Some people say the callous will not change because they are so callous that
they cannot notice anything that they have to change.....Indeed.
