Question & Answer Time
Hi friends, how’s your day going? I am participating in Gena and Jenna’s Raw Wednesday Challenge, and I am seriously lacking in knowledge about this whole Raw thing?!!! I am planning on having some veggies and hummus for the snack part today, and I had a bowl of oats for breakfast does that count? I need to get more knowledge about what it mean’s to be RAW so I can take this challenge more seriously!
I thought it would be fun to go ahead and answer some questions I have recieved fro you all!!!
You are such an inspiration and you do so much for all of us i'm sure each person could put together $1-$5 easily to help you get to $100! If you truly want to run in this let me know and i'll try to reach out to some folks!
Best wishes!
Ashley
Response: You are too sweet!!! If someone would like to sponsor my SDRR run, I would be much appreciated!!! Maybe I should have a blogger bake sale, and get to baking! LOL

Did you get a new camera (and if so - did I totally miss a post??) - all your pictures look FAB today! Just curious! :)
Answer: Well I didn’t get a new camera, the pictures that ussualy have better quality are from our Digital Rebel Camera. It’s a really nice camera but, it’s big so I really want a small one that has great quality too:)

ok and you won't like this but green experts say you are better to put a full load in the dishwasher than to do them by hand, it uses substantially less water
Response: Well I didn’t do all my dishes by hand just my oatmeal pot, french press, mug and bowl…does that make any difference?
Hi Meghann! (Bobbi)
Ive been meaning on asking you something- I know you are a lover of running and I also know it helped you shed 30 pounds! I really admire your drive and dedication! I have a question for you..
I also love running because of how much it has helped me lose weight. When I used to see people running for miles at a time it used to overwhelm me because I need walking breaks every so often because it would literally hurt my legs and chest. A stretch and walking break always helped me keep moving. Well, I’ve noticed now that I’ve kept up with it more consistantly, I am also able to run without stopping and it doesn’t hurt (Thank God- knock on wood!) I’m so thankful and this has actually made me look forward to my runs more because i KNOW i can do it and ENJOY it at the same time. I always enjoyed it because of how it made me feel afterwards, but now I enjoy how I feel DURING the run. I know I might sound cheesy, but it really makes me happy and thankful that I’ve come this far. Was it always easy for you? Is this something normal to experience- that as you lose weight and do it more often, the running becomes easier? I know you’ve experienced falling in love with running and losing weight, also so that’s why I wanted to hear your side of the story. I would really appreciate it! Thank you so much for sharing your story and inspiring many!

Answer: I am sorry to say but running has always been easy for me, because I have been doing it for so long, but training for a fast marathon has been TOUGH!!!! It got easier as I learned to listen to my body and know when I was really pushing myself or not. Running is something I do for fun, now doing weights and other cardio(like kickboxing) is what I did to lose the weight and it has paid off so now I love doing it. I am not going to lie it is a challenge to make sure I am consistently shocking my body and not getting used to the same old workout.

I went to trader joes to get the cranberry apple butter and they told me they won't have it again til October. I was so bummed! I am going to call some other ones in the area and see if maybe I'll be luckier elsewhere. I really want it!
Response: I bought mine in December, can you believe it has lasted that LONG?! I hope you find some:)
If I missed any questions recently please send them my way, I am always trying to do my best to make sure I answer all of them:)
I think these Healthy Margaritas will be on the menu tonight!! I might run (literally)to the store just to get the couple ingredients I need:)
See you tonight for the party!!! (well it’s just Hubby and I but I consider that the best kind of party!).

Hi! I just wanted to comment and say how much i love reading your blog everyday!! I was really hoping I would have been around Boston for the marathon this year to cheer everyone on! (i live nearby). Thanks for the inspiration and check out my blog if you ever get a chance!
I'm with Ashley and Bo. I will be more than willing to donate so you can register. You've motivated me to do so much, it's the least I can do! You can email me at emily.grisso(at)gmail(dot)com with your paypal account (or address) so I can send it!!
Thank you so much!
Hey! Okay, I definitely want to do tonight's post about your race and cause. Therefore, can you send me a quick email with the amount we need to raise and the info about the race? Thanks for the shout out by the way!
I am with you about the Raw food, I have no idea what to eat besides smoothies! I don't think hummus is raw unless you made it yourself by soaking the beans instead of cooking them. I think I may have to try again tomorrow.
haha, you are funny! I am pretty sure hummus and oatmeal are not raw because it's from cooked beans and cooked oats.

Oh man! You have had it since December? It's funny though, that doesn't surprise me much- if I got some now I'm sure I'd have it still in October! It takes me forever to go through stuff. I guess I'll have to wait :)
Thank you for answering my burning question! :) You are the best!
bobbi - how would we go about sponsoring your marathon? like is there a certain website?
I want to help sponsor you also. You are such an inspiration. But I think the blogger bake sale is a good idea too....as long as the stuff you bake is "healthy". ;)
Enjoyed the Q & A!
I have a rebel but want a smaller camera too, it`s a bit of a hassle to lug around sometimes.
Hi there! I see you every day at MIR (I work at Grove) and I found out about your blog and your birthday-marathon run from Sandy (who I walk with after school every day). I am an insulin dependant diabetic (33 years now) and I am just learning to run on a treadmill. I do well on the tredmill, acutally lost 27lbs, but now I am at a stand-still, no pun intended. I have never run outside on the street. Do you have any suggestions on how to leave the electric road and hit the real highway? I would like to loose at least another 15-20lbs. Thanks, Jemma
