6 weeks to lose 10lbs.

HELP!

I just got asked to be in a wedding and its in 6 weeks! I am a parent and son is in daycare 3 days a week so I have roughly 3 days to get to the gym on lunch hour (actual time in the gym equates to about 40 minutes). I work 8-5 in a desk job.

Other then that, workout-wise I have workout videos (i.e. P90x and a few other by BeachBody) at home, so I can do those on days I can't get to the gym.

Currently, I eat pretty healthy (small portions every 2-3 hours) but am looking for help/suggestions for what to do at the gym to maximize the time I have there.

What should I be doing workout & nutrition-wise 7 days a week to maximize weight loss and fat loss?

Also, I would like to focus on burning the fat in arms instead of bulking up instead and I feel like that's whats been happening when I lift weights lately.

This is current workout plan:

Mon- P90X Kenpo or Cardio

Tues- GYM- 20 minutes treadmill - intervals, then free weights to tone arms and lifting & 15-20 minutes abs dvd later at night

Weds- GYM- 5-7 minutes jumping rope, 20 minutes treadmill- intervals, usually 50 push ups and sit-ups

Thurs- GYM- 20 minutes treadmill - intervals, then free weights to tone arms and lifting & tummy tuck abs dvd later at night

Fri- P90X Cardio or Legs and Ab Ripper

Sat - P90X Kenpo, Cardio or Legs usually

Sunday - Day off usually but I always do a 15-20 minutes abs dvd (ab ripper or tummy tuck)

I appreciate any guidance or suggestions that you can give!!
Thanks a LOT!

Your workouts look really varied and interesting! I've heard good things about P90X, especially.

Would you mind posting what you eat in a day so that people can offer suggestions, maybe see if anything can be tweaked?

Here's what I ate yesterday, and this is consistent with what I have most days

Meal 1- 1c oatmeal with 4 whole strawberries

Meal 2- 1/2 Banana with 1 tsp of peanut butter

Meal 3- Small Apple & 6 almonds (I do HIIT at the gym, so I try to eat something that will let me sustain energy during the workout)

Meal 4- 1 can tuna & 1/2 avocado

Meal 5- 1/2 c low fat yogurt

Meal 6 - 1/2 cup beans, 1 cup red peppers & onions (stir fry), 1/4 cup chicken

*Normally, when I am done with a workout at the gym, I stick whey protein in there as well, but I forgot to bring it yesterday.*
