Does your doc have you taking Coromega? You don't mention by name. I swear by the stuff for Omega-3, and Logan will even take it as long as he gets it down quickly. It's orange-flavored with a weird aftertaste. There's a bit of sticker shock on it until you realize each box is a 90-day supply. (I think I pay around $20/box for it, and buy when it's on sale.)
The 10-minute cardio warmup followed by large muscle weight work is what definitely worked wonders for me when I had a trainer. And it's okay to do just weights on days when you're pressed for time. It adds up. One thing my trainer was really strict about was working to the point of "burn" but not to the point of shaking. Over time I was able to find that spot, and to determine how many reps I could do with a brief rest in between, without ever getting to the shaky stage. Now that I'm cycling every day I'm amazed at how much benefit I got from just a little bit of weight work each day (sometimes just squats across the living room for 10 minutes).
