    You can probably fit in a workout of some kind in the morning? All of these short intense interval based workouts would be ideal to be used first thing to throw your metabolism into high gear all day

    I'm eating NO JUNK whatsoever....

    Kitkats are ok aren't they?
    A square sausage for breakfast is part of a healthy diet isn't it?

    You're protein is set too low, and you're not hitting it anyway.

    If you want to get ripped for a deadline (please don't everyone start on about a 'not a diet but a lifestyle', I know, I know, this lady has a deadline here)
    Lose the kitkat
    Lose the bread to one slice a day max., and that's to be eaten post strength/circuit workout
    If you're unsure what to have for breakfast, I'll help it's eggs, plus egg whites. Plus veg if you want a tasty omlette.

    I hike for my out of gym workout. I love taking a small lunch and snack with me and hitting the mountain trails all by myself with no ipod. It makes me appreciate nature and push my body all at the same time.

    HIIT give you the biggest bang for your buck. That being said, if you're doing it right (intense enough) you're only supposed to do it 3X a week for 20-25 minutes per session. You should feel like you're going to die at the end. Google it . . . I also suggest visiting the forums at bodybuilding.com; most of peeps over there realy know what they are talking about regarding bringing your fitness to the next level.

    Has anyone tried the increasing gradient run from Hugh Jackman's Wolverine workout?

    I think it was
    Set a treadmill to 12.5Kph, incline 1%
    Every 30secs, increase the incline by 1%
    Hit stop when you absolutely have to
    Rest one minute
    Repeat until you've finished 20mins.

    You'll welcome death

    If you have the iphone, there's an app called Nike Training Club that is AWESOME!! It may be available for other smartphones, but I'm not sure. For me (176, 5'8" - I burn about 10 calories per minute depending on my intensity level).
