Good work! As you push yourself a bit more, you should get a higher daily average and you will be on track to complete it in under a year!

The cravings really do go away once your body gets used to the new way of eating. And once you've made it through the initial workout period, the soreness is significantly lessened and you can push yourself quite a bit more. I'm doing that right now. I upped my weights and cardio yesterday and I feel pretty good. Today is a rest day, and I'm back to it tomorrow. After a couple more weeks of it, you might want to look into HIIT (I've done the Tabata and Little methods). With Tabata, after your warm-up, you do 4 minutes of alternating max and low intensity in timed bursts. It's difficult no matter your fitness level because you are pushing yourself to your own personal max with short breaks, but recovery gets faster as you get more fit. It increases your cardio fitness and your body continues to burn calories at a higher rate for several hours afterwards. After the 4 minutes of HIIT you can continue your usual walking or your other workout.

I was frustrated a little yesterday because I have been working out but I had a low-energy day yesterday. Sometimes the body just won't cooperate. Ah well. Today is pretty good.
