BEN: You have two young children, one that was born just a couple of years ago. And you were back on stage looking amazing shortly after giving birth to your youngest. What was it like not only staying fit, but prepping for a Bikini Competition while pregnant and shorty after giving birth? Also, you are married…What role does your husband play in your health and fitness lifestyle? I assume that having a partner must make it easier for you to juggle everything?

TOMA: Prepping for a Bikini Competition while pregnant and shortly after giving birth was mostly being focused on being organized with my meal preparation. It is time consuming on cooking day, but it actually saves time in the long run, because I do not have to think about what to eat. I do not even need to make myself a plate, since it is all prepared. I just heat it up.

     Most of the time I was doing things one handed while the other hand was busy breastfeeding a baby. My workouts included my children, and they absolutely loved it. Although my youngest most of time would fall asleep during exercises. Especially lunges, squats and stroller runs.

     For my second competition training, both girls would want to eat my meal-prep too. So I would make it for everybody, including my husband. Although he got tired of the boring meals, he absolutely loved the end of the training when I had my posing practices in my shiny bikini and clear high-heels.

     My husband would be very supportive. But having a partner that is not competing, and wants to go on dinner dates and different events that had lots of food and drinks that I could not eat, was very difficult. –smiles-
