60 days to get in shape

2 lbs a week.

That means you have to have a 7000 calorie differential between calories out and calories in to lose 2 lbs a week. The easiest way to do this is to consume 500 calories fewer and burn 500 calories more. Some days are easier than others.

Planning.

Handies Climb

 

Handies Peak, (elevation 14,058 ft) is a summit in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. The mountain is approximately 11.5 miles northeast of Silverton.

The approach from Silverton requires a 4WD vehicle and 4WD driving.

Haviland Lake Hiking

Haviland Lake is a nice place to fish or picnic. For those with bushwhacking tendencies, a 2 mile hike around the lake will make you hungry for lunch.

Almost directly across the lake from the picnic area, you will have to climb to the top of the ridge and then descend next to a cattle fence. Finding the ridge is the hardest part of the climb.
