First Lurong Challenge WOD #1

In order to fit the Lurong workouts in, we had to go on Saturday to do the first one. I had field hockey practice prior to going to Crossfit. (Field hockey got me really aggravated so I had a lot of anger to release which turned out to be a good thing). As I was driving to Crossfit, I had knots in my stomach. I was dreading the workout. Let me share the workout with you and then I will talk to you about the knots in my stomach. 

LuRong Challenge WOD #1- Triplet Teaser 

21-18-15-12-9-6-3 for time (18 min time cap)
I did Level 2 (the middle level) which was 
14# Wall Ball
65# Deadlift 
16 in. box jumps 

I did not finish in the 18 minute time cap. My time was 18:48. Needless to say it was brutal. I was dreading the wall balls. They scared me. The other exercises, I could make a strategy for and I knew mentally, I could it, but something about the wall balls. I almost turned my car around. (But I knew everyone would yell at me for not going!).  And, just as I expected, the wall balls were awful but I got through it. And I don't have to think about it again for another 7 weeks and hopefully I will improve. But today, my legs are burning!!!  My quads are on fire. (Sung to the tune of Alicia Keys "This Girl is on Fire," obviously). I had a nice date with my foam roller this morning. 

Sunday Cooking

Today was a crock pot day. My legs were on fire, I needed to do some real cleaning and I had a ton of correcting to get done. I decided to make Thai Coconut Chicken Soup. The flavors were totally different than what I am used to. It was sweet and spicy at the same time. Very delicious and very filling. I would definitely make this again. I also bought a ton of fruit and veggies for snacks this week.

I'm looking for some paleo-friendly desserts. Do you have any suggestions? I have a sweet tooth and I feel like I need something sweet after my meal.
