Working out AND dieting


During the past 8 weeks, I have been working out about 4 days a week. Here is what my schedule usually looks like:


Tuesday: Back, Biceps, Abs, and Cardio broken down like this:


Cardio (5 min @ 6.5 incline)


Back Rows (machine)

3 x 12 reps @ 40 lbs


Back Flys (machine)

3 x 12 reps @ 20 lbs


Lower Back Row (machine)

3 x 12 reps @ 60 lbs


Bicep Curls (Single and double hand - machine)

Each arm - 3 x 5 reps @ 20 lbs

Both arms together - 3 x 10 reps @ 30 lbs


Bicep curls, dumbell perpendicular to ground

3 x 15 reps @ 5 lbs


Bicep curls, dumbell parallel to ground, palms down

3 x 15 reps @ 5 lbs


Abs


Ab curl machine

3 x 30 reps @ 50 lbs


Oblique standing curl (each side)

3 x 15 reps @ 10 lbs


Cardio

30 minutes @ 6.5 incline (or keeping heart rate between 135-145)


I feel like maybe I'm doing too much? I don't want to bulk up! But I also feel like I need to start watching what I eat. Overall in 8 weeks, I've lost 8lbs which isn't bad but I feel like if I cut down on the salt and sugar I am consuming, I would see much faster results. Feedback, please!
