[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree in that I'm not the super toned young thing that I was at 25 (I'm 39 now).  I also miss the carefree days and the ability to quite literally travel, pursue my hobbies, and socialize to my heart's content without having to be responsible to anyone else.  That said, there are things you can do about most of the issues you mentioned.

- I use Crest whitestrips and for $29 actually saw a dramatic difference in my teeth.  My dentist does teeth whitening for $500 so that's always an option too.

- I dye my hair every 3 - 4 weeks.  I've started using e-salon and love it. The quality of the hair color is great.

- I splurged and got a personal trainer for six months (2 x a week).  One of the best things I've done.  My workouts are really productive and I better understand what works best for my body and how to get the results I want.  Have lost 15 pounds and 2 sizes.  Yes, it's hard to workout (I wake up at 5 AM and do a full hour before DDs wake up), but after a year of doing workouts 3 - 4 days a week and seeing results, I'm hooked.  Best shape I've been in since I was in college (as much endurance, stamina, etc).

From your post it sounds like you're in a rut.  The things you mention are largely physical and about your appearance, but I wonder if you might be a little depressed too.  One thing I also did several years ago was go to therapy to address feelings I had of deep regret and a sense of hopelessness.  It helped immensely.  Something to consider. [/quote]

Hi PP, OP here. I guess I should have clarified that I do color my hair (but it's gray...that's why I have to color it! :) )

I have tried teeth-whitening products but my teeth are too sensitive for the hydrogen peroxide. I also tried the UV treatment at the dentist's office but it didn't really make a difference.

I'd love to get a personal trainer! I do work out, but a trainer would be awesome. [/quote]
