The 50 minutes of steady cardio is a total waste of time. You will burn less calories doing steady cardio than you will doing interval (properly) in 25-30 minutes. Just drop the steady cardio and do interval cardio 3 days a week. In between those days, you do weight training. And, those weights should not be pansy weights, either. No using 5 lbs weights and doing 12 sets of 12.

Your muscles should be pushed to exhaustion when weight lifting. I mean, if you're used to squatting your body weight down to pick something up during the day and walking around carrying 140 pounds of weight...do you really think that the little 20 lb weight on the hamstring curl is doing anything?
