Rose306,
I am like Diva, good intentions of getting back into it.  Have it set as one of my goals.  Not started it, still working on this nasty house - one weekend at a time.  lol, by the time I get through I will have to start all over again.  I love the progressive muscle relaxation though - hee hee, it's relaxation - my forte!  
 
Congrates on your 69 days!  Keep on walking!

Wow Rose,
 
69 days! Fantastic! I really have to get back to walking again. I let that go and am paying for it. I just lost motivation...I do intend to get back to it. I think you should be very happy with yourself!

Dear Members,
 
Let's try some more progressive muscle relaxation!
 
Your Feet and Legs:

Put your feet on the floor. Curl your toes down to tighten the muscles in your feet. Hold for a count of 10 then relax for a count of 20.
 
Lift your feet slightly off the floor and point your toes to tense the muscles on the back of your lower legs (calves). Hold for a count of 10 then relax for a count of 20. Repeat.
 
Put your feet back on the floor. Push your knees together to tense the muscles of your inner thighs. Hold for a count of 10 then relax for a count of 20. Repeat.
 
Tense your hips, buttocks and upper legs. Hold for a count of 10 then relax for a count of 20. Repeat.
 
Feeling better already?
