danielle,
Switch from the 3 days of HIIT to one day steady state (about 75% MHR ) for 30-40 minutes, one day HIIT and one day something fun like kickboxing or a class or a video..
Since it has been a long time since you lifted you could ease in with a total body program, say M, W, F and cardio on the alternate days.
Try a circuit or a superset routine to start with, maybe a month or 2, then switch to an upper body/lower body split when you feel like the total body has done the job of conditioning your muscles/tendons sufficiently (5-6 weeks, maybe 8). There is a total body superset type routine outlined in he fat loss challenge in the overweight & obesity forum, give it a try. Or sign up for a program here at freetrainers.
What is totally on-track to you? How much and what type of carbs are you taking in? How much protein? How much fat?
