A Big Bad Bodacious Bulk Plan

Alright, I just finished up my 2nd month of lifting, and figured id make a journal on here to pass the time. I devised my own plan/diet after reading tons of information for a while. It was actually this site that introduced me to alot of the base knowledge to workingout a while back.Im currently 5'10" 157 lbs, 7%BF. Im looking to get as big and as strong as i can. My real goal is to workout for a year straight. The longest ive ever gone is 5 months, so i really want to hit that 1 year mark. Here's todays diet/workout.

Military Press-1-10-33, 1-10, 1-9
Lunges-3-8-185

Alright here are my goals:

4. Avoid all junk food possible.

I didn't want to set my goals too high, i dont want to put down something i may not be able to do. So i figured ill go for moderate goals, and if i end up smashing them in the end ill know to aim higher next time.

I always cringe when I don't see protein at a meal... and especially at breakfast! You have been fasting all night, get some healthy carbs AND protein in!

Well the cereal has 7 grams of protein, and the cliff bar has 10, so i am getting some protein. But Its back to eating eggs and oatmeal tomarrow, the king of breakfasts.

I don't really lift much like you guys do, but even I need more protein than that in the morning.
INCREASE THE PROTEIN INTAKE :D
