Help With Toning Up Please!

Hey guys, I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone by both introducing myself and pointing out my fitness goals in one thread. My name is Josh, and I'm 15. I consider myself healthy, but I'm just short of where I want to be, and I just cant seem to get there. I am 5'6" tall and I weigh 120 lbs. My summer break just started, and this is my goal: I want my abs to show before school starts in about 3 months. Yes, I know that there is a thread dedicated to abs, and I looked through it. I feel that since I'm a teenager and have no exercise equipment, this might need to be a bit more tailor made to my situation. This is what I do for exercise: M/W/F - Walk 4 mph for 30 minutes (2 miles), Tu/Th - walk 4mph for 60 minutes (4 miles), Sa/Su - rest! :) I've only been doing this routine for about a week now (Since school ended)

What I Ate Today
(I try to eat like this every day, tell me if I need to change something)
Breakfast:
Light & fit yogurt - 80 calories
Kiwi - 40 calories

Lunch:
BBQ chicken sandwich - 270 calories
Potato Salad - 358 Calories

Dinner:
Lean cuisine - Roughly 300 calories
No sugar added, reduced fat ice cream - 110 calories

So, What am I doing wrong and what am I doing right? I'm trying to cut out alot of sugar from my diet.


Thanks, Josh.

Btw - Would pictures be helpful?
 
You are under eating.
You are not lifting weights.
You are not doing any intense cardio, just brisk walking.
You are under weight.
BBQ sauce is full of sugar.
Potato salad isn't healthy.
Neither is lean cuisine.

These are the problem areas I see in your post. Spend some time reading the stickies.
