Looking to start a routine

[Laura2434]

Hey everyone! I'm Laura and I'm looking to get into a very good diet/training routine. I've always been interested in fitness, but have never really committed to it in the way that you ladies seem to. I'm looking to really only lose about 5 lbs and my real goal is to be in shape and sculpted. I just wanted to see if anyone could look over the training/diet routine I put together and let me know if it looks ok or if there is something I should change. Thank you!

My stats:
115 lbs
5'4"
20% BF

Training/Cardio Schedule:

Monday- 30 min cardio/legs/calves
Tuesday- back/abs
Wed- 30 min cardio/chest
Thu- Shoulders/abs
Fri- 30 min cardio/arms

The exercises I'm doing with each muscle group is taken right off of the shadow project.

Diet:

Meal 1: 1/2 cup oatmeal, 5 egg whites & 1 whole egg, coffee
Meal 2: banana & yogurt
Meal 3: Turkey or veggie or tuna sandwich, 1/2 cup cottage cheese and salad with green veggies
Meal 4: Protein shake
Meal 5: Whole wheat pasta w/ sauce, chicken or lean beef, red potato
Meal 6: Protein shake with a handful of walnuts
