According to Fitday = 31 grams of carbs

CORRECTION: the carb count is 40 grams - I forgot to count in the heel of
black bread I had with mushrooms...

Exercise -
5 minutes of practice rollerblading to friends house


I tried rollerblading. Stopping was a big issue for me!

That is a major hurdle for me too My biggest thing, since I'm used to
roller skates and ice skates is not to push off with my toe (like when I
want to go uphill!)

If it's anything like on ice skating there are several ways to stop -
the easiest is to point your toes towards one another.

I tried that. I seem to still move even though I seemed to have stopped.
It also doesn't seem to work downhill. Ohhhhh how I'd kill for a pick

It's not like ice skating when it comes to stopping. Rollerblades have
brakes on the *back* of the blade as opposed to the front on ice skates, so
using the toes may tend to cause the blader to lose control. It's much like
the difference between downhill skiing and XC skiing. If you shift your
weight and sit back on XC skis to slow down as you would with alpine, you're
going to lose your balance and fall backward.

VBG Falling down works too.


BTDT - head for the curb, throw myself in the grass. That thing they
call the brake on the back is worthless on pavement. Might be better
indoors.

Er, one should not use one's toe-rake as a brake! I think you'll find
the better skaters don't do it, but stop the way the hockey-players do,
or else use a "T-stop" or even a "Show stop".
