Ok, if you have any questions, let me know. It sounds like you go to a gym, so you have a lot of options. My workouts are all in my living room.
One mistake many people make when lifting is they don't do it fast enough, or hard enough, or long enough in a gym circuit. As such, they don't build enough muscle or get their heart rate up high enough to also have a cardiovascular effect.
If they offer it, try a kettlebell class.

That's still low, but that's better. If you lift, you may need to up your caloric intake (or at least your protein intake) a bit.

More power to you, but I can't stand 'em. I have to have home-cooked food on a regular basis, which is my wife's job!
I really dislike frozen foods...except for Totino's Frozen Pizzas, but I haven't had one of those in a couple of years.
Oh, and I hate tea. Vile liquid. I drink water all the time, with the
very occasional Sprite in a restaurant.
