125th New Thing - Did 20 Push-ups

A few weeks ago, Michelle Obama was on The Ellen Degeneres Show (recorded February 2, 2012 and aired February 9, 2012). The 1st lady stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to promote her campaign against childhood obesity, Let's Move, and was describing her daily workout routine when DeGeneres proposed the challenge since her arms were so toned. DeGeneres, 54, struggled around 15 but did 20 push-ups. Obama, 48, stopped at 25 push-ups, though she said she could have done more. The Monday after this episode aired, my Pilates instructor was talking about and saying we should all do 40 push-ups per day. My upper body is pretty weak, as I typically do girlie push-ups (on my knees). So I decided to challenge myself to see how many regular push-ups I could do (on hands and toes). My goal was 15 push-ups and I did 20! I'm pretty sure my arms will hurt tomorrow.

What did you do today?

When I was there, the doctor did a biopsy of 1 of the moles on my back (which came back as normal, by the way). The area was healing pretty well until about 2 weeks ago. The area around the wound started getting bigger instead of smaller and oozing. Therefore, I went back to my doctor to check it out. She said I was having an allergic reaction to something, probably the Neosporin . She gave me some new ointment, Vanos , and said I should take Zyrtec until the area starts to get better. Vanos (fluocinonide) Cream is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses in patients. Best results are seen if used twice per day. Zyrtec (cetirizine) is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. Zyrtec can be u
