So I accomplished my goal of 96 oz yesterday....today I am going for 100 oz...clear nothing added for flavor water...

I think the challenge keeps me accountable to do it so although I said yesterday's challenge was a one day thing, here we go again!!!

    85 is awesome - I think you like me do better when we have specific focus! That's great! Way better than we've been doing - huh!?!

    How I calulate is

    =100oz/8oz per cup
    = 12.5 cup/4 per litre
    =3.12 litres

    simple math in my head:blushing:

    So I am going to water rant for a second....
    I posted on facebook that I was drinking 96 oz of water yesterday - I have several friends who keep asking me what I'm doing yada yada - so I thought I'd encourage them to join me....well a long lost "friend" who I've not seen or talked to in at least 15 years posts about how the government is allowing us to drink crap and we think it's ok - the water is filled with chlorine and flouride and that's so bad....after the first few posts it was all blah blah - well one of my friends told him to lighten up and be proud of me for what I was attempting to do....long story short....I deleted him as a friend...I really do want to know what I am eating and drinking and I am trying to learn - I am like a spounge right now BUT don't belittle me or my friends.....

    ...deep breath...

    I actually got 64 oz. down yesterday - that is a big accomplishment for me since 32 oz. has always been my max. I will try for 80 oz. today - got lots of errands to run though so it may not happen

    Way to go - the whole point in my challenge is to increase what the norm is - I always hit that magical 64 oz # but rarely make it over - so I am pushing harder!

    I have a bunch of errands today too and I've already thought about where I'll be and where the pottys are so I can go when I need to:laugh: :laugh:

    So is this a 100oz a day water challlenge? Or do you set your own goal? Either way I'd like to join. I've got 8 oz in so far. :happy:

    Well it's 100 oz challenge unless you've been drinking that much already like Pinksultana - then you should try to add to your norm and push for extra....

    Whatever your goal is it should be more than your normal days water intake....my norm is 64 oz yesterday did 96 so I upped it to 100 today....100 is just a cool # to hit!

    Isn't there a water toxicity level. My friend once got really sick by "over drinking" the way she over eats.:drinker:

    There is a water toxicity level but I really don't think 100 oz is anywhere close especially since it's spread out over the course of the day not all at once.

    I think you'd have to drink the 100oz in less than an hour to upset your natural sodium levels enough to get actual water toxicity...

    I'm in for 100oz today!

    Yesterday I hit 112 oz :noway: But I had an advantage as I was up until 4 am working my second job. Today I only work 1 and will be hitting the gym so my goal will be to drink the same amount as yest.

    Great challanges btw, I was only drinking 88 oz normally but these challanges are great for motivation!

    I fill a gallon jug with water each night before I go to bed and put it in the fridge. I try to drink it in one day, from the time I get up until about 2 hours before bed (don't want to be getting up all night to pee). I am reading this book about hypothyroidism. It says to drink 64 oz in a day (8 glasses) plus 8 ounces for every 10 pounds you want to lose. I have drank a gallon of water per day for 2 days in a row and am surprised at how easy it really is. I did put one of the crystal light lemonade tubes (the individual packet ones) in my gallon and it gave it just enough flavor to make it easier for me. So far so good.
