Thanks Jamo,

First for my cardio I ride my bike for 30 minutes outside,then I would do 30 yard sprint/walk for 30 minutes everyday.Also for the work out is the 1 set of 12 ok since I use the Total Gym and free weights or should I modify it?I realize I forgot to mention my routine which I was doing Mon,Wed & Fri.
Ab routine-2 x 20
Hanging knee raises
Hanging Reverse Crunches
Crunches
Criss Cross

I should have explained my work hours & days better;I work Saturday,Sunday,Monday and Thursday's from 10pm-7am.

As my diet goes I haven't been following a set eating schedule because it is hardest part to figure out since I work overnight;we have a 15 minute break then an 1 hour lunch and another 15 minute break.I didn't really know how sort it out what to eat at which time.I usually just ate Quaker weight control oatmeal for my 2 breaks or strawberries & bananas cut up together,then for my hour lunch I would have one of the food choices I have listed below.I drink water,Powerade Zero,lemonade made with splenda and diet drinks;but I try to avoid the drinks if possible.

I didn't really keep track of calories because I sat down one day to calculate it and realize I had only eaten 2000 calories,that was on my off day.Also I do supplement Whey protein shakes mixed with frozen berries and some times I use organic peanut butter.I didn't think I was eating enough to really worry about it;any suggestions/tips will be gladly appreciated.

*Food Choices*
Chicken Breasts
Fish(Tilapia or Whiting)
Brown Rice
Whole Wheat low sugar bread
Sweet Potatoes
Sliced Turkey
Ground Turkey
Turkey Burger
