Default Haven\'t been in a while, what to do?

I haven't been to the gym to lift in about 2 months. I have been playing baseball and running, but my diet has suffered and I've lost a lot of weight/mass.

Tomorrow is my first day in the gym. What type of program should I do? I'm open to lift as often as possible/needed?

Should I do any cardio? I'd like to start swimming- how do I fit this into my schedule?

For the record, I'd like to get bigger and stronger! (Lol).

Static,

Since I'm starting 'fresh' I'd like to get a different routine than the push/pull I was doing- any ideas?

Nothing fancy. I'm a big fan of the total body plan 3X a week.

Focus on Squats, Deads, Rows, Presses, Overhead Presses, and Pullups.

Throw in some olympic lifts if you know them/are willing to learn them. Clean & press/jerk, Snatch.

I know that's nothing new or groundbreaking, but those lifts will get you bigger and stronger.

Sample program (my current schedule +/- a few things):

Monday:
Clean and press
Squat
Rack pulls
Flat bench
Pullups and Dips

Wednesday:
Clean and Jerk
Front squat or Lumber Jack Squat
Dumbbell Flat Bench
1-Arm Dumbbell Row

Friday:
Snatch
Heavy Squat
Heavy Bench
T-Bar Row
Weighted pullups and weighted dips
