New Workout Routine with Dumbbells

Started a new workout routine with dumbbells because I there hasn't been any change in my measurements since I started the kettlebell routine.  I am not looking for a lot of change but I want to see a bit of toning after a couple of weeks.  

Below is a list of the exercises I am doing:  Here is a link to a web page which describes all the exercises.

Dumbbell Shoulder Press - 10 lbs - 12 reps - 3 sets
Upright Row - 10 lbs - 12 reps - 3 sets (don't really like this one - might switch it out)
Floor Fly - 10 lbs - 12 reps - 3 sets
Triceps Extensions 10 lbs - 12 reps - 3 sets (didn't like did 3 sets at the end on the machine)
Bicep Curls - 15 lbs - 12 reps - 3 sets
Sumo Squat with Kettlebell -  15 reps - 3 sets
Single Leg Lift with Kettlebell -  15 reps - 3 sets

I felt that I worked my muscles a lot harder with the dumbbells than with the kettlebells.  It is harder for me to lift smoothly so I am correcting my form a lot.

 I stuck with the kettlebell for the sumo squat and leg lift because I felt that I was getting a good workout and I like the exercises.  The single leg lift is awesome!  It is so hard to keep balanced on one leg and I can really feel all the muscles in my thigh, hips and butt working to stabilize my body.

My nutrition today wasn't bad except for lunch.  I can't go to Subway anymore.  Every time I go I can't resist getting the Macadamia nut cookies.  I always get 3 and it always screws up my diet.  It is one of those bad habits I developed over the last 10 months that I am finding hard to break.  So next time I am too lazy to make my lunch I will go somewhere else that doesn't have cookies!
