I’m no longer the Lili from OnMagasine. And that’s okay.

Yesterday was my 58th birthday. A totally normal Tuesday: lunches, dinner, driving around like a taxi, answering birthday messages on Facebook between two errands.

I replied to everyone one by one, because if someone takes a minute to wish me a happy birthday… I’m going to take a minute to say thank you.But this morning, my body reminded me that even good things can be draining.

My legs are stiff and they burn a little. I’m moving, but with that slightly “robot-like” walk, because today even standing takes more energy than usual.

And today, my body reminded me of a reality I’ve known for a while:

I’m no longer the Lili from OnMagasine.The one who spent entire days chasing coupons, deals, flyers, Facebook pages, alerts.Always ready, always “on,” always sharing before everyone else.

I’m not her anymore.

And GOOD.

That version of me took me far.

She taught me discipline, resourcefulness, grit.

But she also burned me, stretched me, emptied me.

Now I live with a body that sometimes stops before my mind does.And I’m learning that it’s not a failure.

It’s just… evolution.

I no longer have the energy to hunt deals every week, and I don’t want to put that pressure on myself anymore.Not because I don’t care — I do.

But because I want to save my energy for things that truly nourish me:

talking about health, food, well-being, real life, real body-listening.

I want to connect, talk, share.

Not run.

Not drain myself.

If I keep building FitFuelChronicles, it’s to create a place you visit with your morning coffee, without stress.

Not a place where I kill myself to post a special on bacon for $2.97.

I don’t know exactly where this new version of me will take the site… but I know I want to be real.

And today, being real means accepting that I’m no longer the Lili I used to be.

I’m a new version.

Slower, yes.

But a thousand times wiser.

You wanna ride with me?
