Default Need serious buddy who needs to shed 5 - 10 pounds fast...

Hey everyone! I am new to the forum but not entirely new to the low carb life... i've just gotten lazy over the past couple of months. Anyhow, I am an avid exerciser and am by no means overweight but I do have a good 5 - 10 pounds I want to lose by swimsuit season. Ideally, I would like to shed 5 within the next 2 weeks and I would love to have someone join me for the added motivation. I intend to follow a bit higher carbs though becuase I will also be working out quite a bit, so the goal is not to exceed 50 carbs per day, mainly from veggies and nuts. I started today. Here's what my day looks like so far.

Meal 1: No carb protein shake, 1/4 cup macadamia nuts
Meal 2: No carb protein shake, 1/4 cup macadamia nuts
Meal 3: 6 oz turkey breast strips, Lots of spinach, cucmbers and mushrooms,
3 TBSP Olive oil dressing
Meal 4: No carb protein shake, 24 Almonds

For Dinner:
Meal 5: 6 oz turkey breast strips, Lots of spinach, cucmbers and mushrooms,
3 TBSP Olive oil dressing

Approximately 1800 calories
Ran 6 miles at easy pace in early AM
Going on 1 hour bike ride from 5 - 6 PM

I know a lot of people will probably say this is excessive, too much, all you need is 20 minutes, etc. I know what I want my body to like like and I don't want the overly developed muscles. I like thin and toned. I don't enjoy strngth training so I'll do the bare minimum of 20 minutes twic a week. I like cardio, and I get results from it... so is anyone up for the challenge?
