  • OK team let
    1 day ago by melissajack_ OK team let's get tomorrow started off on the right foot. I'll be joining the  @f45_training_massey  fam for a zoom workout at 8am and then, I'm going to make protein pancakes for the first time. Want to join in? Maybe we could make and share a healthy recipe each day? Tomorrow I'm using Tara's recipe for protein pancakes. You can find it over at  @allergictosugar  on her website, I'll post the swipe up on my stories. Let me know if you have any ideas xx We can do this Akl/NZ ❤️  @tarasutherland   #alertlevel3   #nz   #proteinpancakes 
  • AD - This dinner was so bloody good it deserves a square on the gram. Epic, epic recipe @regalsalmonnz These ingredients were gifted in a press kit; a reminder that eating quality, seasonal NZ ingredients can be a great start when looking to replenish both our winter moods and our immune systems. Improving wellness through food is a no-brainer and even better when you can #shoplocal to do it. Here is the recipe, from the Regall Salmon website: Regal Manuka Smoked Salmon, Honey Kumara & Chickpea Salad Ingredients 200g of Regal Double Manuka Wood Roasted Salmon 2 cups of mixed

  • AD “As ’70’s kids, Dave and I both spent (many) hours playing Super Mario on our Nintendo consoles, trying to find secret exits and warp zones, taking turns with the neighborhood kids and trying not to run out of lives and lose our turn lol. Still old-school gamers at heart, we were all over it when this week, @LEGO released a super creative, reinvented way to play this classic game with Nixon.   As much fun to build as it is to play, Lego Super Mario had Nix captivated out of the box. Lego Mario has an LCD screen and speakers

    5 days ago by melissajack_ Wednesday night. Friday night. Satdee til 1pm. All the hours on all the other days. This is my 4th year as Chairwoman of Kumeu Junior Rugby and this community is my life. I love it. But, last night was only the 2nd time I've seen Nix play this year. Partly because I have taken on running our jnr kitchen as well this year. But HECK! On the flip side, I don't know how I'll be able to let this go, I have the most amazing committee, we have come so far and the momentum is HUGE for our club right
  • My Just-For-Fun beginners Crossfit comp is less than a month away so it
    1 week ago by melissajack_ My Just-For-Fun beginners Crossfit comp is less than a month away so it's about time I started learning the exercises! Wed is a rest day for me from  @f45_training_massey  so I purchased a medicine ball from  @torpedo7  and found a spot at the rugby club to do some wall balls. 8 sets 25 reps, 3kg ball which is the specified female weight for the comp. Any tips appreciated as this girl has never done a CrossFit class so I'm completely winging it - because why not?  #whatstheworstthatcouldhappen

    1 week ago by melissajack_ A LEGIT IN-REAL-LIFE SUN FLARE FT THE GOOD HAIR! Today was my 8 weekly hair appt with  @goldenhourwithjess  and ohhhh the chat lol....... but also the hair. My hair is growing super fast for a change ( @doseandco , is it you?) and along with that good news, I've noticed a massive increase in "natural highlights" ‍♀️. Jess uses gel colour in my hair and did a few extra highlights to frame my face which is where my greys are multiplying rapidly. The result is just so sun-kissed and pretty, as per usual, and will grow out so beautifully. Thanks so much

    1 week ago by melissajack_ Just because. I was pretty wrecked last night after 12.5hrs at the rugger club on Sat (Chairwoman life), followed by a brief appearance at a 40th and a mean F45 class on Sunday morning AND THEN lunch with the Massey  #fitfam . I went to bed at about 3pm and didn't get up until my alarm went off at 5.45am this morning. Nix joined me, fell asleep in our bed and kept reaching out just to touch my face or hand, even when he was asleep. He just needed to be close to Mum I guess
