Count By Tens, Eat Mackerel

         
            I did five-hundred sit-ups and I barely felt a thing. I counted by tens. It's my new approach to exercise. Why count by ones when you can count by tens.
            Counting by ones is discouraging. It feels like a lot of work for little reward. Counting by tens, on the other hand, is way better. You can do fifty push-ups just like that.
            I discovered something else. Mackerel gets a bad rap. Maybe it's because of the saying Holy Mackerel, or cultural elements, who knows, but mackerel doesn't get the same respect as say, salmon. Even trout gets more respect than mackerel. I took a chance and bought a can of smoked mackerel to use in a sushi roll. I've been making sushi rolls at home, but I haven't used raw fish. It's an art form I'm still trying to perfect, but I'm working on it. It turns out smoked mackerel is delicious. It was just as good as the smoked trout I bought, and more bang for the buck. 
            It's like I said, the mackerel gets a bad rap.
