Hmm, I guess I would like to know what your tips are on having a healthy marriage.. and a healthy life. and if there are things that maybe you and your husband don’t agree on food-wise and how you deal with those obstacles!
Soooo excited that you have a facebook link! I have loved reading your blog- it’s definitely motivating me to get in shape! LITB
I would like to know how you can make fitness and healthy eating a priority in a city that entices you with so many (yummy!) distractions?
I’m going to graduate college next year and hopefully move to NYC, so I would love the advice now while I can get it 🙂
I would like to know your tips on staying active on vacation…..like the one you are about to take
I would like to know how you consistently stay so awesome.
Question: What are your top 5 favorite healthy restaurants in New York City? I also tweeted about this contest, keep up the great work! By the way, I am trying to become the first blind food critic of New York City, please check out my site:

Thanks!!
I want to know a little about your job and your work wardrobe. Do you find it hard to look good without spending too much?
Just liked Healthy, Happier Bear on FB.
My question would be How do you stay on track when you seem to never miss out on happy hours and fun times out? I sometimes get in the trap of feeling like I can’t eat out or enjoy happy hours without getting off track of watching what I eat and exercising. Any tips in overcoming this?
I would like to know how you more about your relationship with Bo! How y’all met, how the long distance was, how y’all got engaged, etc.
What a great giveaway!
I was wondering how you feel diet and exercise in regards to their effects on mood?
I liked you on Facebook! Very happy I stumbled upon your blog recently. I really have been enjoying it!
Like you on FB!!!
Twitted about the giveaway.
i would definitely love to know if there are ever food disagreements in the house. i’m married and find myself in the middle of those here and there! they’re never difficult to resolve, but i’d love to get other opinions on this.
Woah, awesome giveaway! I would like to know how you stay healthy and fit in exercise with such a busy work schedule. Have a great time in Bermuda, SO jealous!!!
You always seem to go to great restaurants in NYC. I would love to know what your favorites are!
Have a great time in Bermuda!
Does Bo snack more than you and if so, how do you avoid eating whenever he is eating? When my boyfriend snacks in the evening my willpower seriously lacks!! Ha
Hi! I really like your blog and the positive mood you always seem to be in — no small feat while living in the city, trying to balance everything AND sticking to a healthy and physically-rigorous routine. I’d love to get your thoughts on whether or not you ever experience ankle or knee pain from your running, as this seems to be a problem for me as I’ve (!) gotten into my 30s. Beyond the usual icing and Advil, of course. Have a great trip and thanks for doing the giveaway!
What tips do you use to deal with stress instead of turning to snacking?
I would like to hear your plan on drinking during dinner/happy hour. In the winter i can easily only have a glass or 2 of wine, but in the summer, outdoors i tend to drink way to many calories.
I would like to know how you stay healthy while traveling! I always use vacation as an excuse to eat whatever I want, but will be traveling a LOT this year so that’s not really going to work. Have an amazing trip!
I tweeted!
Tweeted about your giveaway! @floppywalking
I would like to know how you adjusted to life in NYC. I am from a town near Savannah, GA and will be moving to NYC in a week or so. I love the city and have been a few times but I’m not sure how it will be to adjust to the differences in environment and culture over a long period of time. Have any tips??
Have fun on your vacation!
Hi! You seem to be very busy and on the go during the work week. I would like to know your best healthy snacks that keep you energized. Thanks!
I would like to know how you compare living in NYC as opposed to another smaller city (i.e. can you go on major grocery shopping trips, or a little at a time, how did you adjust to price differences – renting a smaller apartment v. owning a home in a smaller city, etc). I’m always interested in what folks think about city v. suburb v. rural! 🙂 Enjoy Bermuda!
I like you on facebook!
I would love to know some of your favorite “go to” foods…what to you grab on the go that is fast and healthy?!
I’d like to know your strategies for eating healthy in a big city!
I also tweeted your giveaway 😀
here’s my question for your FAQ: how did you and bo meet??!
What is your favorite beauty product?
Question: What is your favorite cheat snack of all times?
I tweeted about this giveaway!
I also would like to know if you “budget” to be able to do all of the great things that you do in one of the most expensive cities in the world? Trips, race fees, nights out, etc… Do you have a plan or does it just fall into place (it does for some people!)?
Awesome Ashley!
So, I too have lost a bunch of weight but I still have *fat girl brain* and see myself as the old me. How do you break out of that and wear (such cute) outfits and see yourself in a new light.
I tweeted 🙂 These are great products, many of which I’d never get to try otherwise.
How do you maintain your healthy weight? How do you get over plateau’s? And how do you manage slides into old eating habits?
I would love to know how you stay motivated to workout?
I tweeted!
I like you on FB!
Oh this looks awesome!
My question … I would like to know how you transitioned when moving away from friends & family
I’d like to know whether you plan to stay in NYC forever! Will you be cranking out Central Park long runs in your 80s??
Great giveaway! My question would be balancing work, spouse, family, health, and fun. I’m training for a triathalon now and by the time I get home from work I don’t feel like working out. Add spending time with my husband and 2 kids and I’m exhausted! Any food suggestions that are healthy, quick, and filling? Thanks!!
Do you and Bo have similar eating habits? If not, how do you handle the disparity? Or how do you reconcile healthy eating habits with someone’s less healthy ideas or habits?
I’d like to know if you and Bo have different eating habits and how you handle the differences!
Hi, my question would be able time management, and how you seem to fit everything in?
I tweeted (@mch710)
I’m getting married in 4 months, and I’m wondering how you balance spending time with your husband with your friends, workout schedule, and work.

I’m planning my wedding and I’m doing a terrible job! I just don’t know what I’m doing at all and I don’t want to spend time obsessing over things that no one will care about. Now that you’ve been married a few years, what would you say (in hindsight) was the best, most memorable things about your wedding?
As a fellow NYC transplant, I would love to know what your favorite and least favorite things about living in the city are.
Question: I’m a new blogger and I’m wondering how all these other bloggers get hooked up with awesome things to give away?!

Hey I tweeted your post! (SJGMIP) and I was just wondering how you manage to stick to weight watchers with your busy schedule? How do you motivate yourself to working out 6 of the 7 days of the week?
Thanks!!!

Thanks for the chance to win – looks like a bunch of GREAT stuff. Id like to know if you were ever worried when you first started your blog that you’d run out of stuff to blog about. Or if you ever do run out of topics 🙂
how do you stay motivated to exercise every day? you seem to have a lot of different things going on at one time, so how do you stay going with it all?

I would love to hear more about your career- work habits/philosophies, how you are climbing the corporate ladder!
As a fellow NYC transplant (and UGA alum), I’d like to know if you found it difficult to move away from Georgia and to the city. (I never felt like I “fit in” in the South and have wanted to live here for as long as I can remember.) What a great giveaway!
Hi Ashley! Thanks for the opportunity to enter the giveaway! (Hope I’m not too late, still 5:30pm Sunday). Glad you had an amazing vacation; my question for you to answer in a post: how do you balance your job, marriage, exercise with getting enough sleep? I find my workouts/life in general are just not as good when I get run down, but it’s hard to prioritize sleep when there’s so much I want to do. You seem to have that solved, Thanks!
P.S. I just “liked” Healthy Happier Bear on Facebook for another entry:). (Couldn’t figure out how to friend, but I definitely do like your site)
Is it too late to enter?? I hope not! My question would be “If you could only have three beauty products with you, what would they be?”
I like you on Facebook!
I would like to see a post on how you and your husband motivate each other to be healthy. It can be really easy to get out of that cycle of healthy lifestyles, unless you continuously encourage each other!
