My first attempt at a before/during post!

KatieJane83

for those who have asked what I've been doing:

- portion control is huge!
- just making healthier food choices
- I dance (ballet, hip hop, lyrical, jazz, and tap) - it's a truly awesome workout
- I've been hitting up the gym a lot more lately (since I'm a teacher I have the time now since it's summer) - approx. 5-6x's per week: each time I do 70 min. of cardio on 2 different elliptical machines, a few weight machines, crunches, stretches, and plies (from my ballet training) to cool down
