New to forums...but serious question

[QuadDude]

Hey, guys, nice stuff you got here.

I have about 1 month to try and get a fairly toned stomach and body. I'm not talking superman muscles here, just toned to look good, on a beach, let's say. And I'm not extremely fat, either: 5'10", 190 lbs. I've got a big build, with broad shoulders. My goal is to rid the body of some of the excess fat, and afterwards, build the muscle more serious.

So, here's what I do. I hate cardio with a passion, but I know it's necessary. There's one dilemma with the cardio. What's the best cardio exercise to get rid of excess fat the fastest? I'm currently 'comfort walking', at 3mph, for 2 hours every morning. I know it's not an intense speed, but I've read that a low intensity targets fat deposits easier. And 2 hours of walking, albeit not a grueling activity, does yield 600-700 burnt calories. So, should I stay with that, or mix it up and add some jogging/intensity circuits? (I own a treadmill)

After the cardio, I eat breakfast (usually an omelet with 3 whites and 1 yolk, or healthy cereal, or whole-wheat toast with jam). Then I have a snack before lunch, and lunch itself. The food isn't important, because I know what's healthy and what is not. After supper, I do the weight-training. I will weight-train for 1-2 hours, depending on what I'm working out, and I will walk again after I train for another 1-2 hours (in the morning because of low glycogen levels, and after working out because working out depletes glycogen levels as well). I also drink between 2-6 litres of water, depending on how hard I'm working.

So, according to the walking on the morning, the healthy eating, the drinking of much water, the work out, and the walking after the anaerobic workout, how should I fair??
