So, how much is in a gallon of water? It’s 8.34 pounds of life, of energy, of hydration, of weight. It’s a small cat, half a weekend’s worth of drinking, or a third of a garden hose session.
Next time you pick up that jug, feel the heft. Smile. That’s you lifting roughly 30% of your own blood volume. It’s a wonder we don’t all walk around with biceps like watermelons.
And now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to go refill my water bottle. That’s only half a pound, but hey, small steps. Or should I say, small pounds.
