Zumba and Vitamins

I took a zumba class today at my local gym. It was only my second time and I was surprised at how well I was keeping up with the class. After the warm-up dance, I exaggerated all the dance moves only because you lose more calories that way. Sure enough I was sweating like I was in the sauna! I ended up losing between 600-800 calories for that hour. Woo! I also did my ab workout when I got home. 131 jumping jacks, 50 laying leg lifts, 50 laying side leg lifts, 40 Russian twists, 1 minute of the knee-high jumping ( I have no idea what the correct term for it is), and 40 butt bridges.

I also ended up buying green tea extract soft-gels. I'm still in the process of finding more vitamins to add to my collection. So far I have green tea extract, vitamin B complex, and vitamin C.

By the way, for whatever reason my armpits started to have a weird dark pigment. The deodorant I used was Secret then switched to Suave and now Dove. I don't see a difference. I exfoliate them before I shave (so I don't get ingrown hairs). Also, I moisturize them after every shower. I wash them after every workout so that the sweat doesn't settle there also it helps a lot with body odor. Today I bought a new deodorant. It's organic and chemical free. I hope this is gonna solve my little problem.

As for the scars on my arms, I have been putting Mederma Advanced Scar Gel on them. I use it once a day for about 2 weeks now. Can't say I've seen a huge difference, but I'll wait a little longer to decide if I really like this product. The scars on my arm were caused by my allergy to grass and leaves. Sometimes I get careless I accidentally brush my arm on plants nearby and blah blah. Anyways, the scars are relatively new and I am certain they will go away after a few more months of treatment.

This is all for now.

Toodles,
