I think you have the right idea. If you never exercise, then your plan is pretty good. However, for your goal (running around in a LARP without getting winded), cardio is best. Yes, you loathe cardio, and that is why doing the stairs will be your best friend.
One of the hardest things about exercise is that when you start it sucks and you hate it. Once you start to get better it isn't as dreadful. Once you surprise yourself, you want to push harder. (At least for some people.)
I prefer eating before I work out. 1) I am uncomfortable working out on a full stomach. 2) Your body wants calories after exercise. Sure, if you ate then they're in their, but eating immediately after is just as good, if not better. 3) I prefer morning workouts, before breakfast. As a hardcore breakfast eater (as soon as I awoke), this was a tough adjustment. However, I found that sometimes I work late into the evening and then lack motivation/energy to workout, then shower, then eat. If I exercise first thing, then it's done and over with before I go about the rest of the day. (I'm also a morning person, so obviously it might be almost impossible for some people.)
tl;dr: your plan sounds good.
