You can do a total body workout without any weights whatsoever. I've been doing so for almost a year now and have noticed significant muscle improvement. Here is a link to some exercises you can do without any equipment: http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/shenandoah/OBB/OBB.html
Regardless of if you use weights or not, it is not only what you do, but how. You want to be constantly moving when you are working out. Don't break for more than 30 seconds. Do a set, move the muscle, stretch it, do another set. Unless you are powerlifting, you want to be doing more like 12-15 reps, not 8. You want that muscle to be burning by the end of the set. If it isn't, more weight or more reps. You want to be sweating, you want to be breathing hard.
Also, you don't want to be doing upper and lower in the same day, especially if you are beginning. Do upper one day, lower the next. Also, I don't see abs or calves in your routine. Do those, too.
Working out is hard to learn, especially if you don't have someone to teach you. Keep it up, do more research to figure out what works for you and what doesn't. There are probably books at your local library. Community colleges, if you have one nearby, also offer weight training classes as well.
