For extra fat burn I will do at least 30 more minutes of cardio today. I plan on walking to the library (1 mile away), doing a 25 min Pilate's video, and maybe 30 minutes of swimming tonight.

Keep it up! You can so take this on.
Fat loss is 99% diet and 1% cardio. You really don't burn meaningful quantities of fat with cardio. You can do it that way.... but it's the HARD way. What are you eating? I just got off a bulk cycle where I added 45 pounds about 1/2 muscle 1/2 fat. So now I need to drop the fat. Roughly 20 pounds. 3 weeks ago I switched up my diet and I'm down 5 pounds already. I HAVE NOT DONE ANY CARDIO. My heart and lungs get plenty of work from doing deadlifts every Wednesday. I'm not saying there is no health benefit to cardio. But I am saying the "Conventional Wisdom" is WRONG. You drop bodyfat with DIET. Not cardio. It's hard to argue with 5 pounds in 3 weeks. I've been reading your posts and I feel for you. You're doing the hard work, but I think you're working hard at the wrong things. You HAVE the motivation, but unfortunately you're following the conventional wisdowm. Let me guess? Low fat diet? Whole wheat bread is totally Ok? ....you'll never reach your goals on something like that. I don't mean to discourage you, I mean to encourage you. Keep searching. It's MISINFORMATION that's holding you back, not lack of effort.
