Hello my fellow muscle heads

I have not wrote in a while , and I apologize. Lifting weights has been a very hit and miss event depending on my state of mind. I know it is an excuse but I have been working out at my apartment  with my ab wheel along with doing calisthenics sometime using the incomplete set of dumbbells , I have set of dumbbells once that does not have clamps and one that is stuck with 40 lbs  and two beauty bells a 4 and a 8lb bell . So right now it is better than nothing/I am finding myself working on more body weight exercises due to not having the motivation ,funds or transportation (limited) to go to my local gym. That would include pushups,squat thrusts and crunches done in a variety of ways.

I am improving on my diet I am eating more healthy-less sweets instead buying more healthy food at the market more fruit and vegetables. I have a staple in the morning which has been a routine Oatmeal and green tea . I do plan on including more protein in that mix . Just need to do it . It might take more time but that is all I have lately since I am unemployed and a full time college student online.

Here is a partial list from memory that I do on days I workout depending on energy levels

Pushups 2-3 sets of 20-25 reps
Ab wheel exercises-2-3 sets of 15-20 reps
One arm db rows 2-3 sets of 12-15 reps with a 40 lb. dumbbell
Today for a change I did
3 sets of  db shoulder shrugs 12-15 reps  with the 40lb db on each side.
2 sets of light dumbbells curls with the 8 lb. dumbbell
Now granted this very light routine but I am increasing the intensity by decreasing the time spent between sets and exercises at least 1-2mins
I need to fine tune it and I will in time. I need some dose of consistency and motivation to get this started on a regular basis like waking up every morning like clockwork

I am closing at this time if you read this and have any suggestions I will consider them and try them out and get back with you all with the results
I would appreciate any suggestions you might have
Thanks
