Don’t have any idea what to get your skater for the holidays?
Here you go! Perfect to keep them warm, on and off the ice.
Hey! Thanks to everyone who came and helped put the float together and pass out candy and flyers at the Southaven Christmas Parade! We hope everyone had a wonderful time, Club Members and spectators alike.
If you saw our float this evening, or received a flyer, browse around our site and if you have any questions that you can’t find the answer, feel free to email info@fscmemphis.org or info@midsouthicehouse.com.
Hockey more your thing? That’s great – we still want to see you out on the ice. In fact, USA Hockey endorses the U.S. Figure Skating Basic Skills Program as THE way to learn to skate. We have more information about all of the classes offered. The better skater you are, the better of a hockey player you’ll be.
Either way, come skate with us at the Mid-South Ice House! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
December 3, 2011 – We are meeting at 6:15 PM at Veterans Drive off Hwy 51. Our float is #70. The parade will travel north on Hwy 51 from First Commercial Drive to Main Street, then East on Main Street to Northwest Drive, and end at City Hall. For parents that would like to drop their child off, pickup will be at City Hall immediately after the parade is over. Participants may exit the parade by turning right onto Brandywine at the South End of Northwest Drive.
Please sign up to come walk with us! We will be assembling our float at the MSIH on 12/3 from 10:15 to 11:45 AM.
How can that be, when there are studies saying we should limit our consumption of fast-food? Did you know:
Calling fast-food nutritious is an oxymoron, you may be thinking to yourself. You’d be right, that’s a big stretch, but there are some healthier, lower calorie options out there. All one has to do is put forth a little effort and be conscious about their consumption.
Most Americans do not drink the recommended 6-8 glasses of water each day. Did you know a lot of times headaches are your body’s way of telling you it is dehydrated? Kick the Coke to the curb and gulp down a tall glass of water or unsweetened ice tea instead. Add a lemon slice for a little extra vitamin C.
Stay away from deep-fried and creamy dishes, opting for leaner, grilled selections and vegetables when offered. Keep the condiments at bay, especially mayonnaise, and double think about adding those extra bacon slices. Slow down and enjoy your meal, savoring each bite. Do so and you will feel full sooner by eating less, which isn’t a bad thing. Portion control in the western world is something of a lost art.
Whether or not you practice healthy dining habits, many fast-food chains now offer options for nutritionally-minded consumers. There are quite a few possibilities at the world’s largest hamburger chain, McDonald’s. Check this out for a list of some combinations that keep your serving under 500 calories, when you can’t stay away from the Golden Arches.
Just remember, like most things in life, fast-food is something that should be enjoyed in moderation.
