Calories burnt while fighting a chicken?
So I spent 45 minutes today chasing/being chased by our young cockeral. I was trying to get him...and the other 16 chickens... out of this little old lady's huge garden, but I needed to capture him first as he's recently turned into a psychotic maniac (ie its spring). Forty five bloody minutes running around wielding a 6…

Hello!
Jo here. 55, IT consultant, chicken owner, allotmenteer and knitter. Singer of shanty songs. I'm sidling across from Noom to see what it's like over here - I was a member here ages ago and have forgotten. I think the food database here is a lot better.

Back again
I was doing so well - for a very short time - then I went camping and lost track of everything. I am back now (honestly - this is really not going to be one of those posts that I write and you never ever see me again). I need to do this - my hips and ankles hurt and I am so tired all the time. I am simultaneously battling…
