I think your plan sounds ok, as long as the calories you save by working out, avoiding ice cream and soda are actually saved. It will do you no good if you unconsciously add back all those calories with other things that are more healthy. It's still way better for you if it's healthier food, but a calorie is a calorie, so I would keep track of things for a little while if I were you to make sure you're on track. Try Calorieking.com... it's a great and free resource for checking calorie content on just about any food you can think of eating.
Good luck!
