Ageing Disgracefully

I stepped back in the gym in 2000, after fracturing my elbow several years before. I used to high dive and participate in triathlons. I fell ill in 2006 in the lead up to a comp, losing 4 stones. I've since discovered I have a hyper active thyroid.

I've been trying to improve my muscle density and gain the mass I lost during my illness. Would like to head to over 17 stones by the end of the year and reassess at that point.

Would like to step on stage, preferably before I hit 40 so I have given myself a large window of opportunity to do so. 2010 was my goal but we shall see.
