Damn you Mom. I had an idea in my head about posting something sappy and sad about mothers, something that would bring tears to your eyes thinking about Grandma Sanko, and then you called and told me about your backed up plumbing and what an awful time you’re having with the mess this morning. I [...]

Oprah, Oz and optimism.
Posted by redheadlaw7 on November 15th, 2011
Once again I found myself sucked into Oprah’s life class and again I found myself tearing up while watching her guests that she brought back from prior shows. The life lesson was for her viewers to realize they always had the power to change their lives and that YOU and no one else is responsible [...]
Serendipity, fate, luck, destiny…

I’m not sure exactly what it is…but something is happening. Something really crazy and something really wonderful is happening. It’s like all the stars have aligned and I am finally exactly where I was always meant to be doing precisely what I was meant to do. I’m sitting here enjoying my microwaved asparagus and broiled [...]
It’s official.

I think my attorney registration number has been retired for good. I finally broke down and made the decision to start studying to be a certified fitness nutritionist and personal trainer. I have never felt so sure or confident in any decision in my life…well except when I decided to marry Jonathan. The textbooks and [...]
Rising from the ashes.
Posted by redheadlaw7 on November 3rd, 2011
In the past few weeks I have mainly posted about crossfit, diet, starvation, soreness and loads and loads of self pity. It took my “attending” one of Oprah’s lifeclasses yesterday to knock me out of it. I don’t think I have had the wind knocked out of me so much and had things put back [...]
Happy Halloween!
Posted by redheadlaw7 on November 1st, 2011
I hope that all of my readers had a very sweet, very spooky and very safe holiday. I’d write more but I’m expending all of my energy trying NOT to eat the two bags of candy that I had left over after trick or treating. And I know if I get caught my husband is [...]

Many persons have the wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose. -Helen Keller
Contest prep is like a newborn.
Posted by redheadlaw7 on October 25th, 2011
As I sat through my four year old Maddy’s dance class today starving, sore and extremely blue it finally hit me why all of this is so vaguely familiar, I’ve lived it before. Preparing a body to be stage ready is very much like caring for a newborn. And no I’m not kidding. And I [...]
The definition of insanity…
Posted by redheadlaw7 on October 11th, 2011
is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Thank you Albert Einstein for the incredible words of wisdom. I don’t think truer words were ever spoken. Now the problem is trying to follow that advice. I know in my own life I have been walking away from competitions trying to [...]
Who were the real winners?
Posted by redheadlaw7 on October 3rd, 2011
Well, I made it through another NPC competition without doing horrible but not doing great either. I guess I’m a bit too much on the muscular side for the Ohio judges and there was nothing I could do about what they were looking for in a figure competitor. I could have come in more cut [...]
