I would recommend you find a basic program by Cressey, Defranco, Rippetoe, Cosgrove, Nate Green, Thibadeau, Waterbury, and follow it for 8-12 weeks. You are only hindering your progress by doing what you have been doing.

Post what you have eaten in the past couple days, as you probably could use some advice in that area as well.

Good luck to you.
