Default Gym help

So I finally weighed in at my second weight goal: 200. I was at 240 at my highest (Dec '07) and got down to 220 for about three years. Now I've dropped another 20 and plan on going down another 5-10. However, I've decided its time to get back in the gym to tighten things back up. I've been out for a while...like seven years or so.

Here's my issue: I need someone to either create or help me find a five day workout schedule. I know the typical Monday - legs, Tuesday - arms, Wednesday - core, etc etc. My problem is that I used to only workout with free weights and a partner. Now I'm going to be working out primarily with machines and by myself...I am not familiar with standard gym machines at all. I guess what I'm looking for is an actual breakdown such as:

Monday - legs

machine A - three sets of 10
machine B - three sets of 10
etc.

and then the same for each day. I'm not sure if we have any gym rats here but I know we have plenty of people who are good at scouring the internet for information.

Help?

I've been working only with free weights with my buddy for about 2 months now and I am truly amazed at how much stronger I have become. I feel better then I ever have before and it just keeps getting better. Guess the key is to not stop, it has really taught me some self discipline by making myself do it everyday and I'm proud I've stuck with it.

On the machines I'm not really sure since I haven't used them at all, but I did find a site that has a complete write up on it. It goes into detail on how you should eat, advantages and disanvantages of machines, etc. and towards the bottom, its got a workout plan.

Hope this helps.
