Two alternatives - heavy weight with low repetitions (5-6) or light weight with really high repetitions, like 15-20.

Any thoughts on water retention? Is there any food or anything in particular that helps that? Weighing when you're bloated is very discouraging. I'm actually doing good handling cravings.

Drink more water. Avoid salt. Drinking water may sound counterintuitive, but it will help flush the sodium out of your body that's making you retain water.
