Would you like to marry me? (And if you like you can buy the ring)

And after all that, it is in fact Friday, home of IFAMAQD.
I know after last week's Friday Issues, some of you may be hesitant. However, I assure you that anybody with unanswered questions received a full refund and a complimentary meal at our world-reknown Oyster Bar. So step right up!

Currently on the same routine--20 or 25 minutes of elliptical, 10 to 15 minutes of weights and then another 20 of elliptical.
They had all these flyers last night advertizing five 25 minutes sessions with a personal trainer for only $100, which I may take advantage of if I can manage to schedule it. (I'll check the budget after taxes/bills/rent/whatnot get paid.)

If your goal is fat loss, there's a fair bit of evidence suggesting that some kind of interval will be more effective (and take less time!) than the steady-state cardio (I'm assuming that's what you're doing on the elliptical).

So, like, ten minutes of cardio, then five of weights, ten, five, ten, five, ten? Something like that?

Oh, there's a link with an article. I'll go look!

Yeah, more like 5 minutes on the elliptical as a warmup, then weights, then 20m on the elliptical (after which, if you are like me, you will need a friend with a bucket to carry you home. But it strips the fat off like nothing else.)
