It mostly seems like you want the easiest path you can get. This, being brutally honest, is a mind set that is doomed to failure... but, if you really want a list, do this twice a week.

2 Minute Rounds, 1 Minute Rests
Round 1: do 100 front kicks
Rest
Round 2: do 100 turning kicks
Rest
Round 3: do 100 side kicks
Rest
Round 4: do 100 back kicks
Rest
Round 5: do 100 front kicks
Rest
Round 6: do 100 turning kicks
Rest
Round 7: do 100 side kicks
Rest
Round 8: do 100 back kicks

If you can survive that, start to bring your kicks higher. If you are kicking head height and not gasping for air by the end of it, then I should be asking you for advice.
This is a great start. This is what i do and it is a great workout. You will also perfect your technique. Pay attention to details, don't just do it. Do the forms that you know 10 times a day. And push away from the table. Leave the sweets and starchy foods alone. Drink alot of water. No more soft drinks. I have been big all my life. So, I am talkiing to myself as well.
