First day back in the gym since surgery. First workout in two months, and first day I started to feel like a normal human being. I still can't lift too heavy because of my wrist, and I'm not allowed to squat yet but I was given the okay to slowly work my way back to working out my upper body. I felt small and weak but I already feel so much better mentally after being able to get back in the gym. There is a light at the end of the tunnel! I still have my SP catheter and have a lot of work to do to get back where I was but I'm getting somewhere! I'm going to need to check my ego at the door, have patience, and celebrate the small steps. At this time last year I was about 8 weeks out from my first bodybuilding competition, and right now I'm about 8 weeks post-op phalloplasty. I won't be competing this year but I'm determined to get back on the stage. #phalloplasty #ftm #ftmfitness #ftmbodybuilding #bodybuilding #motivationmonday #fitness #trans #transgender #prayforpee #drchen #cathetersaresexy
