Thumbs up New to boxing, come answer my numerous questions!

Ok, I did write a big huge long letter here at first, then the thing messed up and I lost it all But ok, I will give ya the main points.

-I'm 15, live in BC Canada.
-I used to train in TKD, 2nd Degree Black Belt, was competitive in all tournaments I entered
-Played world class hockey as a goalie
-The past two years I was sick with Lyme Disease, making me out of shape. Could lose 7-8 pounds and be healthy.
-Now gonna start boxing, have heavy bag set up here.

I started the boxing and got both main hitting nuckles on both hands nice and skinned. Now feels like my right hand is sprained, thats right, I didnt wrap my hands.

So, now my questions, hopefully I dont forget the ones I lost there...
-How, and with what do I wrap my hands for working the heavy bag with training gloves?
-Is 50-60 mins twice a day hitting the bag enough workout time to get in shape pretty quick?
-I already skip before and after workouts, also am going to start riding stationary bike. Any other excercises I should do?
-Any good drills I should do with the heavy bag? I already do combos, hard kicks, jabs, faints, etc.
-Special diet that would help bulk up and stay trim?
-Anyone know of a good gym and trainer near Vancouver BC that would train a beginner to boxing?
-Have I asked enough questions yet?

Haha, thanks guy!
