Thanks guys.............I may skip the show,not really sure yet............battling with myself for a week now whether to enter again or not. On a sidenote,I`d eat perfectly for 3-5 days then eat some regular food for 2 days. I look pretty good.............thicker and rounder but not really sure if I wanna` go to the extreme diet that I`ll need to do to get in peak condition. I may skip it and hit the Eastern USA`s in NYC in Nov. or a tested contest in Nov. with my training partner. Or,I may just train to improve for next year. I wish I could stop fighting with myself over this ...............never had any problems dieting in the past....................could just be getting old..............nah!! LOL ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) If you are not feeling it then it is time for an off season. You have competed every year for God knows how long. A good off season would get you motivated again and you could make some nice gains. I plan to take a year off after the North America. I am about burned out right now. Almost 20 weeks of dieitng myself. I know how you feel.

Eric's right, you probably are just feeling burnout after dieting and competing so much year in year out. We always think we're machines and can do anything. You are pretty much a machine, but even machines need some down time occasionally!
Nice, that your back is finally feeling better! I know what you mean about squats, nothing else seems to get me as sore as a good squat workout!

Thanks guys............I`ve decided to skip NABBA and actually feel like a ton of pressure has been taken off of me.
Who knows,I may hit Bev Francis` Eastern USA`s later this year..............entered it twice but failed to place.
Went in the Over-45 where there is only 1 class and the guys dwarfed me bigtime.
If I do it again,I`ll enter the Over-35 under 176 pound class............much better odds of placing.

Glad to hear your back is doing better, and you are squatting again. Sounds like you are listening to your instincts about whether to compete or not. If it feels right ,it probably is. Great training Tim

Thanks Rog............yeah feeling no enthusiasm to compete or diet so far.
I was ripping up nicely for the Masters Nats until I realized I didn`t have the cash to spare to do the show..............after that,it was all downhill as far as motivation to diet goes,but still training like a demon.
