Help Me Get in Shape for My Birthday (Please!)

So maybe two month or so ago, I was posting a lot about P90X.  I was doing the plan religiously… for a month.  Then I kept at it, but did swap in some of the workouts with my Carter Fitness boot camp, which is also amazing.  I even added back in some running.

Then came some stuff I won't go into because it would involve serious TMI, but the gist of it entails female "issues" and my doctor's major hormonal whackadoodle attempts to fix them.

Now here I am at the end of it all, TEN POUNDS HEAVIER.

This doesn't have to be a big deal.  Sure, it's a bummer, but as the hormone maelstrom settles, I can eat right, exercise, and get the pounds off, right?

Right.

But.

I have a HUGE birthday coming up.  July 6th.  Big one.  We don't have to discuss how big.  Suffice it to say there's a reason I'm obsessed with 80′s music.

I had been hoping Tony Horton would give me washboard abs for my birthday, and while it's my own fault he didn't, I still had high hopes that I would leap into this birthday in the best shape of my adult life.

And yet… the ten extra pounds of doughiness.

Still, I haven't given up hope.

I have one month to shed these ten extra pounds… and I have YOU.

I am open to any and all suggestions.

I'll do my part.  I'll hit the gym, I'll run, I'll hike, I'll do my P90X videos… I'm not looking for a snap-your-fingers-and-it's-gone.  But I would LOVE to know what if anything has helped you slim down quickly and reasonably healthily (I won't take any crazy fat-burning supplements).  Did you cut out carbs?  Did you juice?  What did you do?

Yes, yes, I know the best way to lose weight and keep it off is a slow, steady process of healthy choices.  I'm a huge proponent of that.

But that's not an option right now.  It's crunch time.  And if this goes well, I'll have about half of these extra pounds off my the Emmys, which would really be nice.

So there's my plea… ten pounds in one month… any ideas?  I can't wait to hear 'em!

THANKS!!!
