  • Ok so the Blue Team wants a water challenge.... the Blue Team gets a water challenge!

    The daily recommended water consumption is 8 fl oz, 8 times a day. That's 64 oz every 24 hours. Since some of us have a hard time making that, here's a little challenge for you.

    Every day you consume water, post your water consumption in this thread. You can do this all at one time or everytime you consume at least 8 oz. Then just subtract your water amount from the amount thats left to reach our next mini goal.

    Our main mission before the end of this TBL challenge is to fill a 10' long by 6' wide by 22" high kiddie pool. That's 289 gallons or 36,992 ounces.

    Now you may say to yourself.... thats impossible! But if all of us participate then it is not!

    So to get you motivated. Our first goal is to fill a 1 gallon bucket which is 128 ounces. Here's the list I have of mini goals we're going to get to in order to fill our kiddie pool!
    • 1 gallon bucket - 128 ozs - Done!
    • 5 gallon bucket - 640 oz - Done!
    • 10 gallon bucket - 1280 ozs - Done!
    • 20 gallon bucket - 2560 ozs - Done!
    • 30 gallon basin - 3840 ozs - Done!
    • 40 gallon basin - 5120 ozs - Done!
    • 50 gallon basin - 6400 ozs - Done!
    • 60 gallon basin - 7680 ozs - Done!
    • 70 gallon tub - 8960 ozs - Done!
    • 80 gallon tub - 10,240 ozs - Done!
    • 90 gallon tub - 11,520 ozs

    Then the long stretch is to the kiddie pool!

    So... Do you think we can do it? Let's get to it!
  • So far today I've had 64 ozs of water so I'll put a nice dent in our first mini goal

    1 gallon bucket = 128 ozs

    128 - 64 = 64 ozs
  • Forgot to mention....

    Once we reach a mini goal then we just subtract that amount from the next mini goal

    For Example: Once we get to 128 oz, it will be:

    5 gallon bucket = 640 ozs

    640 -128 = 512 ozs left to consume

    Hope that helps
  • Okay Chellez I also drank 64oz so far today so

    64-64 = 0 First bucket full lets start on number 2 ladies!
  • 5 gallon bucket here we come!

    So that's 640 ozs - 128 ozs = 512 ozs

    I had 2 more 8 oz glasses when I got home and now I have to potty!

    512 ozs - 16 ozs = 496 ozs
  • 496ozs-64ozs=432ozs
  • Im a big water drinker but actually didnt drink my usual 100 oz a day..... but I did down 80.....
    432-80= 352
  • 352-32 (yesterday)=320
  • 320 - 85(yesterday) = 235
  • 235-70(yesterday) = 165
  • 165-64=101
  • 101 - 64 (yesterday) = 37

    Almost ready for another bucket.
  • 37-36=1
  • Hope I'm doing this right.

    We're 1 ounce shy of the 5 gallon bucket. Next goal is a 10 gallon bucket.

    1280 - 639 oz so far = 641

    641 - 32 so far = 609
  • 609 - 68 (from yesterday) = 541
