OK, back on the scale.
Back at the start of the month, I developed some shoulder pain on the right side. It wasn't terrible, but it would worsen every time I did heavy chest exercises - so I started off by resting it through a deload week. I increased the calories to what should have been maintenance levels - if I'm not lifting heavy, I wanted the weight to hold steady for both rest and repair, and not invite any muscle loss while I was loafing around.

The week off only helped a little, so I went back to the doctor. Several expensive tests later, the diagnosis was some damage/sprain to the AC ligament in the shoulder. Not major, but a nuisance, and certainly a result of the aggressive chest work I'd been doing. Apparently moderation isn't just for dieting...

I was given a choice of doing nothing and getting a steroid injection in the ligament. I picked the injection - supposedly faster recovery (days instead of months). Shoulder hurt like hell for a few days after the injection, but it has mostly cleared up now and I've resumed lifting - doctor's orders, believe it or not. In fact, I was told not to baby it, and pick up where I left off on the lifting, which I haven't - still doing lighter weight on the chest exercises for now.

Anyway, I haven't bothered with the scale the whole time as I've been trying to stay at maintenance. Now that the lifting has resumed, I suppose I'll get back to dropping the last few pounds. I'm happy that the scale was off just 0.2 from where I left off - even just adding the several hundred calories the last few weeks has felt like a gluttonous binge.

Other than that, still trying to finish gift shopping, which I am entirely terrible at.
I've ordered my wife a Nikon D3100 camera - any photographers out there who can tell me if that was a mistake? It's not too late to swap if it was. I'm looking for a few other gifts so the pile isn't small and sad, though. You'd think by age 40 I'd have some idea how to buy gifts for my wife, but I'm always needing ideas. Which means suggestions are welcome if anyone wants to help out :)

The silver lining on this cloud is that she's equally bad at buying gifts so usually we just have a mutual understanding on that issue...
