It takes me about an hour to finish weight lifting. I don't stretch and I don't warm up (I know I know) and just get right to it. If I start getting in to heavier weights I will warm up my shoulders since I've had problems there but other than that none. I'll do a set and try to only rest 30 seconds between the 5 rep sets. When I switch workouts to a more standard 3 sets of 8-10 reps I rest about 2 minutes between sets, but that's on down the road.
I then hit the cardio for 30 minutes, so total time in the gym is about 1.5 hours 3x a week. If the weather's not bad I may do another 30-45 minutes of cardio (brisk walk) on Saturdays just to get a bit extra.
I was having another scoop of the ON Whey and 2tbsp of peanut butter at 6pm when I got home from work, but eliminated that as well to cut down.
I'm trying to stay around 1800 cals / day. I have a desk job so I'm sitting on my butt all day.
I forgot to add in the flaxseed 2gr/day, red yeast rice 1.2gr/day and the multivitamin.

1800 Calories a day!!! You're starving your body... If you work out for about 1.5 hours in they gym, then you should be eating about 2200 - 2800 calories a day... If you're not seeing results, you can blame your food intake.. that is way too low.. even if you just sit in an office chair.. you have to consider your workouts...
Get those calories up and eat a more balanced diet throughout the day (5 meals instead of 2)....
If you do that, you will see a change for the good
