The biggest thing to focus on with strength training is muscular balance!. (if you work your chest, you must also work your back) if you don't balance out your body by working the opposing muscle you will have muscular inbalances that can cause injury and actually change your posture to slump forward or back!.
If I understand the description of your workout, it doesn't look like your getting a back workout (upper, middle, and lower back), it doesn't look like your getting a hamstring workout (The back of your thighs) You may or may not be getting enough of a tricep workout (opposite muscle to your bicep)!.
It would be work paying to meet with a personal trainer atleast once, to show them your workout and make SURE it's balanced!. Too much of one muscle and not enough of the opposing muscle can really cause problems!! Your diet seems pretty good!. I've found a Protein shake to be helpful, especially when it includes your multi-vitamin for hte day in it!.
As far as your cardio, every day is GREAT! Shoot for 45 minutes each day instead of 30 so that you can burn more fat, and get close to making that six pack visible!. Remember you can workout your abs like CRAZY, but if you don't burn off the fat over the top, you'll never see the six pack!.
Also!. STRETCH STRETCH STRETCH :) :) You actually IMPROVE your results from strength training, when you stretch sufficiently after your workout!.
Good luck!! :) Www@Answer-Health@Com
