Cherilyn's Debut at ICN NSW State Championships - Crowned 1st Place!

After a 7 year break from competitive bodybuilding, the Miss Bikini Momma category is the reason why I came back to stage. This category has given me the opportunity as a mother to compete equally as a bikini athlete as well as displaying all my hard work and discipline that goes into being a Bikini Momma.

As mothers, our bodies are pushed to the threshold physically and mentally. I hope most mothers can relate when I say “I lost a bit of me” and, through this journey, “I’ve found myself again” and learned so much more now that I am a mother, a wife and a coach.

Our ‘new mum bodies’ are something that we are all still getting used to. Part of that learning and adjusting is accepting my body for what it brings into my life, the gratitude I receive as a mother giving birth to 2 beautiful children. Make no mistake though, this isn’t defeat. I am very aware it’s also my responsibility to tap into my inner self and adjust the way I look in order to change the way I feel about myself and my body. This inner belief and excitement gave me the fuel for fire to set my goals, challenge myself and get into the gym 6 days of the week to start my life transformation.

My vision turned into reality!
When I say this I mean it from the bottom of my heart. We all can do this!

Thank you to the ICN judging panel and backstage crew for an amazing and well organised event! To my fellow beautiful Bikini Mommas who I shared the stage with, thank you all for making it a memorable event. You all worked very hard and let no one take that away from you. To my beloved teamGMF team mates, members, family and friends thank you all for your ongoing support, love and laughter, you guys are just amazing! And finally to my wonderful husband/coach, my babies Maxi and Lexi for always supporting me and showing me continuous love.
