I swapped it out for some baked oatmeal at the end of the night......little slower digesting carb for sleep time.

Tomorrow the menu looks like this:

- 2.5 lbs of shredded white potatos w/a touch of asparagus and onion baked in
- 2/3 of a pan of baked banana oatmeal
- 10 oz of garlic cheddar mashed potato
- 4 rice cakes
- 2 bowls of oats
- 100g of protein from egg whites and chicken
- 16g of PB

Macros for tomorrow are: 168P/399C/36F

Gonna feel like im on a diet after today!!!

What happened to,.."No Problemz, I loves my carbs,..almost likes bein ins Heaven"??

Well, that lasted until abouuuut 5PM. I cant say that I didnt want to eat anymore.....I did. It was that that last pound of mashed potato was getting kinda old.

Got another 3 lbs to eat today though! Luckily there are many different ways to make white potatos!! Today I shredded them and mixed em up with onion, asparagus and butter buds. Pretty tasty actually......until this afternoon when I get sick of them!

I think you need to start eating. Your wasting away into nothing and flattening out

I woke up almost 4 lbs heavier this morning. You wouldnt think it, but I also woke up STARVING. Couldnt wait to get breakfast in.

I tell you what.....I made this little banana variation of the baked oatmeal recipe I got from liftjunkie......ooooh man is it good. If I could have put a little peanut butter in there, they would be out of control.

Basicly.....oats, banana, banana extract, egg, baking powder, splenda, milk, cinnamon, and a little smart balance. Bake it up in a pan.......eat it warm.......oh yea!

You're a hero to the people

BBTake2 · 11-06-2009, 09:17 AM

Hey Oak, Good Luck!

Just out of curiosity, what is this baked oatmeal?

Thanks.

Its basicly oatmeal that been baked in the oven and cut up like brownies.

Lets see if i can recall the recipe while at work here.......

-2 Cups of oats
-3/4 C splenda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 TBSP smart balance / butter - melted
- 1 egg
- 1.5 cups skim milk
- cinnamon
- 1 large banana mashed
- 1/2-full tsp of banana or vanilla extract

Pre-heat the oven to 350. Mix all ingredients in a bowl and pour into a baking pan thats been sprayed with Pam. Bake for 30 min. Let it cool and cut into squares. Eat it warm and top it with come cool whip free and youre loving life.

I have done the recipe with applesauce in the past and its good....but IMOP, the banana is way better. Next week im gonna make a pan with peanut butter/banana.....and maybe some chocolate chips. That'll be good for my first heavy legs day back in the grind.

Nice! I'll be doing this once I do a small cut here in a couple weeks...

Go get 'em, Oak. Last shot, lots of work, you'll gonna tear it up. Kudos to your wife for giving her blessing.

ever1964 · 11-06-2009, 11:12 AM

I am gonna be trying that banana oatmeal recipe on Sunday. Sounds awfully tasty. If you wanted to boost the protein, you could probably mix a bit of whey in there as well.

Oh yea.....a little vanilla whey would be great. When my carbs come up so high, my protein is at bare bones, so I didnt add it. Plus with the oats, egg and the milk its got some decent protein as it is.

J_Bo · 11-06-2009, 12:35 PM

Man, now that you gots an enhanced cheering section (Blazed) you better step up!

aguy fish · 11-06-2009, 03:50 PM

I'm preppng with Tommy too, i'm 3 and ahlf weeks out and I wonder if he'll do the same method with me. Considering how flat, tired and down I feel, just thinking of eating that much carbs makes me hungry ! I hope you do well on saturday, you look amazing already. Good luck bro !
It's good your wife helps you. Mine is extremely supportive too and this really helps! e are both lucky !

stayfit2008 · 11-06-2009, 05:15 PM

Good Luck Oak!!! Wish I could make it,..but I procrastinated in planning for the 4hr trip!

DavidKH · 11-06-2009, 05:17 PM

Do well tomorrow! Take home the win!

Blazed · 11-06-2009, 07:13 PM

I'll be cheering on from the stage

jked4life · 11-06-2009, 07:35 PM

Good luck tomorrow Oak! I'm sure you're going to absolutely kill it. Last one, then off-season!!!!

ever1964 · 11-06-2009, 07:42 PM

Go get 'em Oak. Give it every last bit of energy you got. Victory!!!

Well, Tommy has made it known that he is pretty aggressive with the carbs. In reality we started very conservative. Even now.....10PM the night before the show, I was planning on 1100 total (200 more than last show) and I am actually upward toward 1300+ and just feeling like im topping off the tank. Upped the fat and dropped the protein a touch for a little mini dirty load right before bed......just to see if it does anything for me. I was feeling a touch flat. If it backfires......its not Tommy's fault.....I didnt run it by him. But, I am learning to navigate a little more by feel.

AustrianOakJr · 11-06-2009, 08:33 PM

OK.....these were taken this afternoon. Still feeling a touch flat.....a bit harder than expected to get a pump. Had about 900g of carbs in me, but I think they just take a little while to seat. Overall, feeling pretty good though. Ready to rock it tomorrow and just do the best I can.

Little different lighting on these:

Dont pretend like your pics arent "wow". Man, I still cant get over them. If you had some kind of crystal ball 3 months ago that could show me your present condition, I wouldnt have believed it. Unreal.

So, how did Wegmans treat you? You dont have those down on L.I. Great place to go stock up on carby essentials!

Blazed · 11-06-2009, 10:41 PM

And Dark Chocolate Dreams PB is 1.97 cheaper here than on LI!

extremenergy3 · 11-07-2009, 12:04 AM

DANG! You are looking hyuuugge! Good luck man!

JimmyChitwood · 11-07-2009, 03:00 AM

All I can say is - nice hat, ya doobie.

AND - good luck. You're looking pretty mean. That first shot where you can't see your fat head - whoa - you're looking huge there. Very Arnold-esque.

Looking forward to seeing the show results.

Good luck to you too, Blazed!! You're smokin'.

Thanks for the well wishes. I hope things are going OK on your end.
