i need personal trainer/fitness guru advice on my workout!?

I have lost 30lbs and want to maintain it. I am going to hawaii in a few weeks and want to be in top shape. 3 days a week i run 30min in the mornings on an empty stomach and then later in the day i lift weights. 3 other days of the week i do a spin class in the afternoon (either right before lunch or late afternoon) and then will do some yoga or pilates during the week. i eat tons of fruits vegetables and do not eat carbs after 3pm unless it is natural in fruits or veggies. Is this an ok plan or is there ANYTHING i can do to step up my game?

In need of new workout schedule, what do you think?

I have been so tired latley so i am trying to adjust my schedule. Do you think for weight loss that this would be effective: MWF do pilates first thing in the morning and then in the afternoon do my weight lifting session followed by H.I.T. training cardio for about 20 min. Then, on Tuesdays and Thursdays take a spin class at 6pm, and on saturdays at 9am. I am 5’5, 103lbs and i want to maintain my weight loss goals. I used to cycle at 6AM MWF but with school and it being so cold i am losing momentum. Is pilates effective in the morning, first thing on an empty stomach or do i need high energy cardio?
I used to cycle MWF at 6am but want to change it a little. Do you think if i did H.I.I.T. for 20min in the morning that would be as effective even though it is a shorter time. I weight lift later in the day on MWF and still cycle T/Tr/Sat in the afternoons. I have lost 30lbs and want to maintain. I eat 5-6 frequent meals all natural and balanced. Would 20 min be enough in the morning or do i need 30min? and what about pilates in the mornings?

is water bad for you if you drink alot?

I was having dinner with a few family friends, and i was telling them about this fasting ameditation i did for my taekwondo. We have to do this to get a black belt. Anyways, i told them that i drank about 15 bottles of water per day, without having any food inside my stomach for 3 days. 15 bottels turns out to be about 16.9*15=253.5 fl. oz. they told me this is bad, and i didnt really catch the explination. If this is true, why is this bad? I always thought drinking as much of water as possible is good. Everyday i drink only water, occasionaly orange juice and eat alot of fruits/vegetables/healthy/organic stuff. So is drinking alot of water bad with an empty stomach? with a full stomach?
