Go you for your achievements and successes of the week! *\o/* I keep forgetting to join here, but I'll try to be better in that regard! Week 12 was really good for me, fitness-wise; I was travelling for most of the week and got in about a third to half the amount more of my usual steps, first for prep work and deep cleaning at home and then for walking around so much. Also, most of that was walking to and from destinations/public transport stations, so I logged a gratifying number of active minutes. I also slept really well while away and had no issues getting my sleep minimum, if not more - something I'm usually struggling with. But I was also quite sensory overloaded from the museum visits and public transport, which of course did help with the sleep! ;op I was unsure how well my diet would hold up as I still haven't fully figured out how to adapt my regular very low-carb and mostly sugar free diet to increased mental and physical demands, and needed more emergency bars than I'd expected. But my weight remained the same and my fasting blood sugar was even lower than usual, so I did well also in that regard. Another postitive experience was finding out that doing that kind of sightseeing walkig, including the relatively slow walking in museums and exhibitions, no longer tires my body out or makes my feet ache - I hadn't really done either since I switched to wearing barefoot shoes, and I'm impressed by the difference that is making. On the other hand the mental exhaustion from sensory overload in public transport and visiting museums has much increased, and I found I can't take in as much as I used to any longer.
