Hey there Padua. I proper diet will help keep your energy up a bit. It's not surprising that you're tuckered out after 60 minutes of cardio then 20-30 of wieghts though. You've got right to be tired! Fruits are a good source of quick energy. (for a little boost) Might want to ask Caravan this question. In my opinion he's quite knowledgable in this area.

60 minutes each day seems a bit much, I would be exhausted too.

Perhaps you are not eating enough carbs in general. You might want to review your diet and see what kind and quantity of carbohydrates you are eating. Pre-workout go with simple carbs like fruits and potatoes, but post workout which is more important, have complex carbs.
Also you might find you are depleted in thiamine if you are not eating right, this vitamin, helps convert carbs into energy. 1.1 mg is the RDA for women.
And yes 60 min of cardio a day is too much, Try and go for 25-30 min.
Hope this helps and good luck.
You might want to try taking vitamin c and perhaps a multi vitamin without iron. Ask your doctor first though.

Padua,
You should try HIIT cardio. If your not wore out after 30 mins of this, then your not doing it right. It makes you feel real good aftward too, its important to support that workout addiction... :).
