Kielbasa Bean Slow Cooker Soup

Happy Friday Everyone!

I must say, it has been such a tough week! Halloween candy, left over Halloween candy...Knottie GTGs....margaritas...The list goes on. Although I will not say that I failed, because failure will not be an option for me...I will say that I have not done well at all staying on program. I will get back on program starting tomorrow after weigh-in. I will start working out during the week like I have been. I want to be one of those buff brides but I want to do it as healthy as I can.

What are your goals for the week? Feel free to leave a comment and let me know!

Kara (kdangel518) had given us this recipe earlier in the week. I'm dying to try this although I might have to make some moderations to fit FI's crazy diet. It's one of those "set it and forget it" type of recipes (I'm sounding like an infomercial aren't I?) Plus I love Kielbasa too....MMMMMMMM!!!!
