Carol,
I understand about being a pear shaped. That is me..all of my boom boom pow..is below so I am very mindful of they way I workout. I can build muscle fairly easily in my legs so..like you still try to figure that perfect combo I just want to lean down (BF) and tone muscle that is already there. I had a trainer b4 and he had me lifting heavy weights when we worked out and I stopped because my jeans were getting tight especially in the thigh area..Here is an article I came across a few years ago and found it online and wanted to share. Let me know what you think.

I gain my weight around my waist and don't really gain bulky muscle at all, just nice definition. I run for cardio, though Cathe's cardio workouts are excellent too, and do any and all of her weight work. I think it's all about what you love doing, because that's what you're going to keep doing. The more things you can find to do, the better.
I really think, though, that much of it has to do with your diet. Until I finally committed to a clean diet, I always had a bit of a belly cushion. Not a lot, but it was there.

Just want to share my regimen maybe this could help you a bit.
Every morning when i wake up i do about 60 to 80 sit-ups with my leg hung-up.
Then do push ups as many as i can after that i do an hour of jogging to burn out all the fats and gain some cardio.
Then have a moderate to light-heavy breakfast, this is good to prepare your body to a long day
