Pom Goodness

My roommate got me hooked on pomegranates a couple of months back. I didn't want to spend $7 on a cup of pre-picked pomegranate seeds so I use to sit on the couch and pick at each seed one by one by myself...yeah, that took a while.  Until I discovered the trick of getting the seeds out in a bowl of water :)

These pomegranates was a large part of my breakfast this week...

All mixed in together...

For lunch this week, I tried to limit myself to spending nearly $8 on a wrap at Freshii that I could probably recreate for less than half of that price (but it never tastes the same...sigh). So the solution was to make my own tuna salad wrap. 

Light Mayo, Dijon Mustard, Light Tuna, Cucumbers, Cherry Tomatoes, and Green Peppers. 

Mixed it all together and added in some black pepper...

All ready to go at lunch time! Just added one sliced hard-boiled egg and lettuce and rolled it up!

Looks kind of bland ... but it was actually pretty good and filling. Definitely not as satisfying as the wraps from Freshii but hey, it still made for a good lunch. 

This week's exercises have mainly been on the elliptical...

Monday: 10 minutes on the bike, 40 minutes on elliptical 

Tuesday: 65 minutes on the elliptical

Wednesday: 45 minutes on the elliptical

Finally went for an outdoor run (first one since the Yonge Street 10K!) today since the weather was finally nice again!

Felt good to be back on the road again :) I also got to sport my awesome new Spibelt. Fanny-pack for runners! :)
