Finished Expedition 33 tonight. Definitely did not get all the achievements but it is a heck of a game!

Started playing Deep Rock Galactic Survivor on Game Pass. I'm digging it!

First day of school for Dom so thought I would get him up and get after this morning with a little upper body.

Second game finished for 2025. Sea of Stars. Loved every minute of it but wish I had spent MORE time on it to get all the achievements.

Back on to Expedition 33.

Very much feeling like a Monday.

Been awhile since I've actually completed a game. Lost in Random. Might be an older game but had fun playing it on Game Pass!

Late getting after it this morning but the youngest wanted me to get him up so I did.

Not going slow on my reps. Just going heavier. 35lb on the first set; 25lb on the second.

Hammer curls were tough

Every time I get new glasses with a slightly tweaked prescription, is it always going to feel like I'm getting them for the first time?

To buy Helldivers 2 on #Xbox or not?

I loosely do Pomodoro just so I get up, move around every so often. Usually longer breaks I go for a walk around work 'hood.

Did it once. Too hot when wearing jeans. Lol. Can't win.

It is that kind of day where the vehicle runs while I wait. No breeze and too hot out to roll down the windows!

Ian Dickson @skydaddy306.bsky.social · Jun 28

A little spin this morning before getting ready and taking the old dog for a walk around the block.

Ian Dickson @skydaddy306.bsky.social · Jun 26

Just keeping on keeping on.

But summer is here. Work continues for both my wife and I. Kid #3 still wants to be a baller, so off season and he's working out and getting in better shape for next season. Maybe football?? We'll see. But he wants those "hops". LOL

Ian Dickson @skydaddy306.bsky.social · Jun 26

Work outs are sporadic. Not sure if I should lift heavy or just go for clean reps at a lower weight. Not sure jogging is my jam anymore because I am packing on extra weight nowadays. But walking and rucking seem to hit the spot. And spinning. Set up the portable bike I bought off Amazon off I go

School is done for another year for the kids. Basketball season is done for kids. Daughter graduated from high school and taking some time off. We at least have a year off from another graduation but now focus on making sure the other high schooler gets through two more years.

I am still here. Kind of gave up on Bluesky I'm not sure I need another social media feed. Meanwhile, Threads has kind of been odd for me because there is so much spam and bots and...it's like Instagram. Maybe I might start posting here more...not sure.

Got my jog on this morning. Felt good and getting faster..

Might get my leg day in tonight. Debating.

Ian Dickson @skydaddy306.bsky.social · May 28

Apparently, I can't count. Lol. Today was supposed to be day 2. Not day 5. I'm definitely feeling like it is Day 5!

Now tomorrow would technically be Leg Day, but it is also a scheduled run day. Do I go crazy or do another upper day along with my run day?

Ian Dickson @skydaddy306.bsky.social · May 27

Workout and then a jog. Little later going than I wanted, but that happens sometimes.

Just glad to get after it!

Ian Dickson @skydaddy306.bsky.social · May 22

Got my workout on, and then my run on. Those back to back supersets were rough. #betterthanyesterday #fitfam #fitat45

Ian Dickson @skydaddy306.bsky.social · May 21

Stairs are not my friend today. Lol

Ian Dickson @skydaddy306.bsky.social · May 20

Trying something different (again) but day 2 of my baby steps to 5k. Did it without my ruck this time. Same distance but quicker. I'll take it!

Ian Dickson @skydaddy306.bsky.social · May 18

Lightened the load on my ruck and went for a cold little bit of interval training this morning. Yep... I jogged a few times with that sucker strapped to me. I may regret it later. #jogging #ruck #betterthanyesterday
