    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!

  2. Nicole Amerson June 1, 2011 / 1:29 am

    Soooo excited that you have a facebook link! I have loved reading your blog- it’s definitely motivating me to get in shape! LITB

  3. Natalie June 1, 2011 / 1:59 am

    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 🙂

  4. Christine June 1, 2011 / 2:11 am

    I would like to know your tips on staying active on vacation…..like the one you are about to take

  5. Theodora June 1, 2011 / 2:13 am

    I would like to know how you consistently stay so awesome.

  6. Dan June 1, 2011 / 2:19 am

    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:
    http://www.blindtastetest.net
    Thanks!!

  7. Megan June 1, 2011 / 2:38 am

    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?

  8. Rachel S. June 1, 2011 / 3:05 am

    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?

  9. Theresa June 1, 2011 / 3:43 am

    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!

  10. Katie M. June 1, 2011 / 4:35 am

    I was wondering how you feel diet and exercise in regards to their effects on mood?

  11. Katie M. June 1, 2011 / 4:36 am

    I liked you on Facebook! Very happy I stumbled upon your blog recently. I really have been enjoying it!

  14. sarah b. June 1, 2011 / 9:50 am

    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.

  15. Ada June 1, 2011 / 10:21 am

    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!!!

  16. Andrea June 1, 2011 / 11:24 am

    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!

  17. Pam June 1, 2011 / 12:14 pm

    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

  18. Maggie June 1, 2011 / 12:14 pm

    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!

  19. Emily June 1, 2011 / 12:17 pm

    What tips do you use to deal with stress instead of turning to snacking?

  20. nikki June 1, 2011 / 12:19 pm

    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.

  21. Cassie @ Tofu Meets Her Match June 1, 2011 / 12:27 pm

    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!

  22. jessica June 1, 2011 / 12:37 pm

    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!

  23. Kristen June 1, 2011 / 12:38 pm

    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!

  24. lauren June 1, 2011 / 12:50 pm

    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!

  25. Adara June 1, 2011 / 12:55 pm

    I like you on facebook!

  26. Adara June 1, 2011 / 12:56 pm

    Question: What is your favorite cheat snack of all times?

  31. Andrea June 1, 2011 / 2:06 pm

    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!)?

  32. Rebeca June 1, 2011 / 2:17 pm

    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.

  33. Susan June 1, 2011 / 2:21 pm

    I tweeted 🙂 These are great products, many of which I’d never get to try otherwise.

  34. Kelly @ Cupcake Kelly's June 1, 2011 / 2:38 pm

  40. JenT June 1, 2011 / 3:59 pm

    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!!

  41. Tara Marie June 1, 2011 / 4:32 pm

    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?

  42. Chelsea @ Strawberry Sweat June 1, 2011 / 4:38 pm

    I’d like to know if you and Bo have different eating habits and how you handle the differences!

  43. Amy B June 1, 2011 / 4:43 pm

  48. Jessica June 1, 2011 / 5:34 pm

    I am looking forward to hearing about Bermuda, so my questions are centered around that. What was your favorite part? What was your favorite food/meal?

  49. katie June 1, 2011 / 5:36 pm

    i would like to ask: would you ever want to raise children in NYC?

  50. Danielle June 1, 2011 / 5:38 pm

    I’d love to hear about how you stay motivated. Also, if you could talk about juggling life, work, a relationship, fitness and living in NYC, that would be cool too 🙂

  51. Ashley T June 1, 2011 / 5:53 pm

    “Friended” on Facebook

    FAQ – Would you share some speed training workouts / tips for running that can be done outside (I hate the treadmill!)

  60. Jill June 1, 2011 / 8:37 pm

    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?

  107. Layla June 5, 2011 / 9:35 pm

    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!

  108. Layla June 5, 2011 / 9:37 pm

    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)
