For me, I took a breather from prep around mid Oct when I finally just couldn't do 3rd show this year. I let it go a little, more over the last couple weeks - interesting how its not as bad if you don't diet but still hit the gym, but let the gym go, and everything starts to sag -- but work has been getting crazy, helped a friend compete over last weekend at the NPC Excaliber (which entailed eating only the food I had w/ me while we waited 6 hrs for his weight group to go on stage, and THEN hitting some killer diners in LA for lunch & dinner, and no gym for nearly a week). So yea, getting a little soft right now.

But... Cabo for new years and leaving in 19 days! So you bet your off-season booty I'm doing my cardio & back on my diet right now! Jan 4, thennnn I can eat!
