it's time again for the the .........

DRINK UP! WATER CHALLENGE
~~~~~

Many of us don't get enough water for whatever reason. We get busy, we substitute, we just plain forget and sometimes we just don't care.

There are several calculations for determining just how much water one should drink per day.

Other calculations for water consumption per day include drinking 1/2 your body weight, drinking 62 ounces plus 8 ounces for every 25 pounds you want to lose and even drinking the minimum plus 8 ounces for every cup of coffee you drink. However........................

**** In this challenge, you will be committing to drink
a minimum of 64 ounces ****

RULES OF THE CHALLENGE
1. SIGN UP! Signing up is simple, jsut make a post and you're done.
2. You will be committing to drinking the minimum of 64 ounces of plain water. I don't care if you drink 80 or 100 or whatever. I am only concerned with the minimum of 64 ounces.
3. Post daily. This will help you stay more committed.

Here's some helpful hints

• Space out your water consumption trying not to overload and catch up in the late hours of the day.
• Keep track of the amounts by using measured containers. For example, 1/2 gallon or 1 gallon milk cartons or other type of pitcher or drinking bottled water in 16 or 20 ounce marked containers.
• Keep your water bottle/glass/container near you during the day. Set it on your desk, take it with you if you walk, etc. Having it handy makes it easier.

measurements:
pint = 16 oz.
quart = 32 oz.
1/2 gallon = 64 oz.
