Beginner: Doing what I enjoy

[trebla]

I have just started out with training again and have been at it for just over 4 weeks now. 42 yrs old...200lbs

I enjoy the treadmill and run 6 days per week doing an average of 3 miles in 30mins(started at 2.4miles in 30 mins) each day. After the run I usually do weights. I don't have too much choice of weights so I do bench press and curls one day and shoulder press and triceps the next day and rotate this for the six days.

I see that many posts suggest weights one day and cardio the next if I want to do both during the week.

I am trying to lose weight so think that running would be the best way tolose the waeight. I have also changed me eating habits but have difficulty trying to find the right food. I am in Taiwan and cannot always find the food I like and also language is a problem, but still trying to get all the proteins, carbs and fats that I need in the correct proportions.

Any suggestions on what I can do to help lose the weight, or is my routine OK.

Try to do your weights on alternate days of cardio. Or at least 9hrs apart.

If you want to lose weight(Assuming you want to lose FAT), you need a diet. Read in the diet nutrition forum, lots of good forums. Don't forget the search feature.
