Just wondering what others would suggest on this situation:

I am currently 5'7 164 lbs, and have been working out (mainly cardio) for the past year. I have a Christmas party to attend early December, and am willing to do the extra 'workouts' to look my best in a special slinky dress.

Currently, I do Cardio for 45 minutes a day, 5 days a week during my lunch hour at work, but am debating adding another session everyday after work.

If I do, what would you suggest I do to optimize my results??- add another hour long Cardio, or weights routine after work??

I'd add a full body resistance routine 2-3 days per week and cut your cardio to 3 days per week, but keep the cardio intense(HIIT). Grab a FT weight loss and definition exercise program from this site. Focus on a clean diet. You've only got a month, but you should be able to tighten up a bit. Any weight loss over 2 lbs/week is not healthy. Once your party is over...keep it up...the benifits will be worth it.

Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

I agree with FOTW 100%. the only thing I can emphasize is CLEAN DIET, CLEAN DIET, CLEAN DIET.
