I made an official decision.. I am taking the rest of the year off. With the Europa only 10 weeks away and the Atlantic City less than 16 weeks away.. my head is not in the game. I think the hardest part about being a bodybuilder is knowing when to say when.

How many sets should you do?
How much cardio?
How heavy should you go?
How many repetitions?
How many Days Off?
How many Carbs?
How much fat?
How much protein?

All variables are different for everyone of us. It is understading your body and then accepting when you need a break.

I am looking forward to competing next year with hopefully a more improved physique. I don't want to keep competing if I can't make improvements. Part of the passion with competition is seeing the improvements through each pasing year.

Right now I am spending time doing choreography, hair and make-up, and contest preparation for other aspiring figure, fitness and bodybuilders. I sometimes find this type of work more rewarding than competing.

I hope you all checked out... http://www.frankdefeo.com , www.saskiasalemink.com , and I will doing Rosemary Jennings site in the near future.

Right now I am focusing on passing my boards for my Board Certification in Sports Nutrition.. that is June 21st. I have to really get to studying... not doing enough at the current moment.

I will be at the Jr. Nationals.. I have some DIVAs... in the show.. I honestly think that KRISSY CHIN will win her pro card at this show... she has one killer body.

I have some other real standouts too...

A week after that show... I am doing Vicki Nixons make-up and hair. It is going to be sad.. not competing at the Jan Tana.. but, it I just couldn't do it.

Next year....

That is going to be a good year..................hope to be on the Olympia Stage again.
