RE: Diet Time...
Time in lifting isn't nearly as important as a schedule/sets/reps for what you want to accomplish. Generally speaking if you want to build mass and strength do more weight and less reps (like 3 sets of 4 reps with enough weight to seriously tire you) or if you want tone and weight loss use less weight and more reps (like 3 sets of 10-12 reps with just enough weight to tire you out). I usually did a 3 day rotation, arms and chest one day, legs the other, and back/abs the third.
Now as for scheduling you can either do something like... (as for which ones the best I have no idea...)
Day:
1) Arms
2) Off
3) Legs
4) Off
5) abs
6) off
or
1)arms
2)legs
3)abs
4)arms
5)legs
6)abs
7)off

As for working out, what equipment do you have besides the elliptical? Are you just gonna work out with no weights like that link I posted a few posts back? Before I suggest a workout/cardio routine I really need to know this...

RE: Diet Time...
Don't lift weights for any longer than 1 hour.
High repetitions can get you big just like lifting heavy can. It is a common misconception that lifting heavy with fewer repsmakes you bigger than lifting light weight for higher reps.
