Go on.. You know you want to.. LOL

Do HIIT instead, right?
That's a good call on changing the calorie total I think, but if it's working right now, then stick to it.

And as for the cardio, not entirely, no . I was going to suggest 1 of 3 options. One, totally scrap it because I don't think 10 minutes of steady state is doing too much. It's certainly not getting you in better cardiovascular fitness and for the minimal calories you're burning you should put that energy towards lifting or just save it. Two, yes change it to HIIT. Three, keep it steady state and increase it to around 30-40minutes. If you don't have that in you on lifting days, do it on off days.
