Ok Kats and Kittens... this club is real simple... it's a committment to drinking your required amount of water for the day.

To remind yourself of your water drinking... first figure out how much water you shoudl be drinking in a day (generally 1/2 your body weight in ounces) and figure out how many ounces your favorite glass holds...

Now divide your total amount by the amount your glass holds and that's how many pennies worth of water you should be drinking in a day.

Near your water supply, you want to have two shot glasses, (or something to hold your pennies - since i'mnot drinking these days, the shot glasses need to be put to good use) Put your pennies in one of the shot glasses and for each glassof water you drink, the penny moves to the other shot glass... When the first shot glass is empty, you're done drinkin' for the day...

And if you want to be really silly, you can put apenny glass in the bathroom too, just to check how many times you're actually giving back some liquid over the course of the day :)

Have fun... :) Need pennies? I've got plenty, i'll send ya some :)
 
Ooh! I'm in!

I might not be able to use shot glasses-- might have to create a tally sheet or something, because my mother is pretty intolerant to clutter... but maybe she'd understand. :)

I weigh 150-- so that's 75 ounces... that's about 5 of my big polka dotted cup glasses of water a day. (Though a nickel seems impractical...)

I'm gonna go get started!
 
This sounds like a great club, but unfortunately not only do I not understand ozs (I go by ml), but I buy bottled water and swig straight from the bottle .... how uncouth!!! :eek: :D . It's a pity, as I would have loved to join.
 
Oh gd I cant. If there is one thing I am no good at its drinking water. It hates me, I hate it... I am always dehydrated. I am lucky to get.. if I include my green tea (which has no sodium so i can) I am lucky to get 3 - 4 cups (250 ml each) into me a day. At work its easier, I can get like 6-8 into me... but when I am out and about the other 4 days... it just doesn't happen. Sounds like a great club.. but I just can't do it.

It's about drinkin' the water - not how you drink it.. :)
 
Hey Mrs B! I agree with Mal! Just transfer a penny for every how every many mls each bottle is. ;)

I'm on a hunt for shot glasses. For some reason, just doesn't seem as much fun to use anything else. To me, anyway. :p :rolleyes:
 
Just do a conversion!

I think the idea is that you drink as much as you ought to-- and since you're familiar with metric, I assume you know how many mLs you need to drink?

Just switch out all the ounces with the mLs in her post and do the same thing. And water bottles make your job super easy because they have the measurement on them.

My Dasani is 16.6oz and I fill it over and over. :)

AND, totally found shot glasses. My family is like, why are these at the sink? :rolleyes:
 
That would probably encourage more strange looks. I was sort of like-- it's for a project!

On the bright side, I have four pennies in my "consumed" shot glass.

(But I went running, so um, was REALLY thirsty)
 
Okay, today I transferred seven pennies from the San Francisco shot glass to the Elvis shot glass. Favorite glass is 15 ounces. 105 ounces down today.

Elvis loves it when I do that.
 
I'm finishing the day with 11 pennies transferred from the Maryland Shot Glass to the Columbus Ohio Shot glass.. ( I need more interesting shot glasses :D
 
Yeah, the shot glasses can definitely make or break your peeing game. My new motto is....

"I'm peeing for Elvis"
 
peein' for columbus ohio jusr doesn't have the same ring a peein' for the king...

/me makes note to self- get better shot glasses tomorrow :)
 
Okay guys, I am in ;) However, I shalln't be doing a penny per bottle as they hold 1500 ml each !!:eek: I think I will do a penny per 250ml (they say to drink 8-10 glasses a day, so that would be 2-2.5 litres which sounds about right. I shall obviously be trying for over and above that ;) ) I am not sure how much I have had today. Its soooo hot though, that I have probably had about 3 litres. I swig constantly while out on delivery. I will start officially tomorrow, and shall probably use my South Park shot glasses .... They killed Kenny!!! .... You b*stards!!! :D
 
Okay, as I'm on UK time I guess I shall be the first to post my pennies ...... drunk 12 pennies, widdled ??? I think it was atleast 7 but I lost track :eek: Ah, well, I suppose the ones I drank are more important. 12 pennies is 3 litres so I am really pleased :D
