Work life and fitness. How can we take into account extra physical activity?

Hi guys bit of an odd question here (I posted this in fitness too).

I'm currently undertaking some physical training in relation to my job.
For anyone who may know what this is its called MAPA, the management of actual or potential aggression. I work as an RMN in a mental health unit and MAPA is a week long intensive course - i.e. lots of physical activity during the week. (Silver lining is we can go in in joggers all week, comfort heaven haha!)

I'm really unsure of how to consider this in relation to my weightloss and physical activity. I usually go to the gym every other day or at least three times a week however I'm getting back and I'm super tired. My muscles ache and it feels like i've just completed a workout. This then leads to me feeling hungrier.

I do a lot of walking anyway, anywhere from 7,000 - 13,000 steps a day, so you can imagine how pooped I am after all of this!

Has anyone else done anything similar or have an idea of what I could do to measure this week accurately? Any advice would be lovely! Thank you!
