Also, there's not much difference in burning calories and weight loss in cardio v. weight training. That has more to do with diet than anything. So, if you're wanting to shed pounds, then adjusting your diet and getting protein may need to be part of "phase 1".

Sounds like you've got a solid plan, Luv... nothing you or Clay are saying is wrong, its just that with fitness their are several different ways to arrive at the same conclusion.
For me, its time to do something different, which is going heavy cardio this time, if for nothing else just to switch it up and also because as a smoker, its very easy for me to see how badly I need some intense, prolonged cardio... I'm looking forward to some incredibly interesting looking hacks in the shower about 3 weeks into this + the switch to vaping, its happened before and is quite the eye opener.
Also, for girls, you're absolutely doing the right thing... stick with the endurance/tone building high reps, no girl in her right mind wants big muscles.
