NSV/Gym victories

These are moreso gym victories that I just wanted to post b/c I'm proud of myself. I love that I'm getting stronger, as well as leaner.
1. I decided that I want to start doing pushups, and not do them on my knees. I've had pushups scattered throughout the different EA Active programs I've done, but I've never been a really big fan of them. Anyway, I surprised myself by doing 20 pushups my first set! (Then, I did 10 the second set, and 7 the last set.) My goal is to eventually do 50 pushups.
2. We have a lying ab crunch machine at the gym. Back in January, I could do a total of 75 reps. Yesterday, I did a total of 210!
3. I do free weight bicep curls, 12 lbs in each hand. About a month ago, I tried to increase it to 15 lbs, but my right arm wasn't ready for that. I went back down to the 12 lbs until my right arm caught up to my left arm. Well, today, I managed to do 3 sets of 10 reps using the 15 lb weights! Again, my right arm struggled more than the left (I'm a lefty), but not as bad as the first time I tried it. Hopefully soon, I'll be able to do my usual 3 sets of 15 reps.
