PLUS, perform 1 or 2 1/2 hour shows twice a week at the least, sometimes up to 4 times a week, so we're talking anywhere from 2 - 16 shows a week!
How much more can a gal do!

It is definitely the carbs in my case....
My bums, arms, abs under a bit of flubb, and legs are rock hard.....
Also, when I am PMS'ing, I gain, and no joke, 5 pounds, and I bloat so horribly.

No more bread for me......that is my mantra,
no bread, no pasta -

Unfortunately, even though you ARE doing a helluvalot, your body has built up the stamina and you are able to maintain at that amount of exercise per day/week. You probably need to do more high intensity cardio to make a difference. As for time, you can make the time if you really want to. (That's what I tell myself, anyway. I have a similar schedule: 5 performances a week or more, and a full time student.)

But this is just my suggestion, Maria. IMO I think you have a FAB figure!
