super Live Ay Lewis story. Hey friends, this is part
two of Levin Ivy's Healthy Habits. If you haven't listened
(00:42):
to part one, hop over there, listen to that one
and join us back on this story. Lucky for Levi
and Ivy, all their training had them at peak running
performance and they just made it to the Neighborhood Olympics
sign ups in time. After signing up with the obstacle
Course race and a few other events, they finally could
relax and they started to head back home. My tummy
(01:03):
is growling, said Levi, Mine too, said Ivy. Maybe we
should have had breakfast. Well, we don't have time now.
We only have two more days to practice for the
Neighborhood Olympics, said Levi. We'll just have to have a
really good lunch. Sound good, I guess so, said Ivy
over the grumbling of her tummy. I really do need
to practice the balance being bonanza and the hippity hoppity
(01:26):
hurdle some more so, Levi and Ivy did the same
thing they did the day before, which was eat sugary foods,
watch greens, and stay up late talking about the obstacle
course race. But that would all stop very soon once
they woke up the next morning. Mom called Ivy from
her room. I don't feel good. Can you come in here? Sure, sweetie,
(01:49):
I'm on my way, called out Ivy's mom, and she
walked down the hall from her bedroom to Ivy's room.
Dad called Levi from his room at the same time.
I don't feel so good good? Can you come in here,
suare kiddo? I'm on my way, called Levi's dad as
he walked down the hall from his bedroom to Levi's room.
Once they each got to their kids room, they found
(02:10):
that they had both had the same symptoms. I just
don't feel right, mom, said Ivy. My head hurts and
so does my tummy. I just don't feel right, Dad
said Levi. I feel tired, like I have no energy.
After hearing all the symptoms, Levi and Ivy's mom and
dad met in the hallway to have their own conversation.
(02:33):
After talking for a few minutes, they brought both Levi
and Ivy into their bedroom and had a big talk
with them. First things first, you aren't sick, so that's good,
said Levi and Ivy's mom. Not sick. Then, why do
we feel like this? Said Levi, curling up under his parents' covers. Yeah,
added Ivy. It totally feels like we have a cold
(02:55):
or something. And the Neighborhood Olympics are tomorrow. Once I
said that, both her and Levi looked like they were
going to cry. We've worked so hard to get into
good shape for them obstacle course race, Levi began. We
practiced NonStop for like three weeks. The monkey bar Maize,
the bike wheelie ride, and the spin and run. Yeah,
(03:18):
and we practiced for the hula hoof, basyard hop, the
hippity hoppity hurdles, the rope jump, the football toss, or
the whaky whack, added Ivy with a big sigh, and
all for nothing, because now we're sick and we can't
compete tomorrow. Levin Ivy's mom and dad saw how upset
their kids were and couldn't wait another minute to tell
(03:38):
them that, yes, you can compete tomorrow, said Levin Ivy's dad.
You just need to make sure you make some big
changes today and stick to them. What do you mean, Dad,
what kind of changes? Asked Levi as he sat up
in bed. Ivy was listening closely to We'll do whatever
we have to so we can run that obstacle course
(03:59):
race to said Ivy. Well, it turns out, after hearing
all your symptoms, your dad and I have determined that
you have a case of bad habits, said Levi and
Ivy's mom bad habits. Habits can't make you sick, giggled Levi,
can't they? What do you mean, mom, asked Ivy, curious
(04:20):
to hear what she was going to say. What I
mean is that the way you've been taking care of yourselves,
or in this case, not taking care of yourselves, has
caused you to feel this way, said their mom, your
bad habits are making you feel sick, But we're getting
exercise every day, said Levi. Is that a bad habit?
(04:41):
I thought you were always telling us to go outside
and put it. Oh, that's a great habit, but lots
of other things that you're filling your days with are not,
said Levi and Ivy's dad. Like bad eating habits, said
Levi and Ivy's mom, holding up some empty juice boxes
and candy bar wrappers that she had found in the
morning in the upstairs bathroom trash can. Eating this stuff
all the time can give you quite a tummy ache
(05:03):
and zap your energy, making you feel weak and tired.
And all the late nights, added Levi and Ivy's dad.
That can make you feel tired too. Then there's too
much screen time that can make you feel run down
and give you headaches. Along with not staying hydrated when
you're running around all day outside can add up to
a bunch of bad habits that make you feel not
so good. Levi and Ivy couldn't believe what they were hearing.
(05:27):
They had made themselves feel sick. They were shocked. And again,
we're happy. You're both super excited about the neighborhood Olympics
and the obstacle course race. But you're taking it a
little bit too seriously, said Levi and Ivy's dad. He's right.
Daily exercise is a great habit, but it should only
be fun and enjoyable, added Levin Ivy's mom. And winning
(05:47):
shouldn't be the only thing you're thinking about while you're
doing it. Levi and Ivy finally got it after listening
to everything their parents had to say. So if we
develop healthy habits and have a good daily routine, then
we'll feel better, asked Levi all the time. Yep, just
like that, answered Levi's mom with a big smile. We'll
(06:07):
help you too, added Levi and Ivy's dad. And if
you stick with these good habits, you'll both be competing
in the obstacle course race tomorrow and you'll feel unstoppable.
That sounds great to me, said Ivy with a big smile.
Me too, said Levi. So for about an hour, Levi
and Ivy wrote a schedule for their day and worked
(06:28):
in to add healthy habits to replace their bad ones.
They create a list that included things like not skipping meals,
eating more fruits and vegetables, avoiding too many sugary snacks
and drinks, staying hydrate a limiting their screen time, and
setting a regular bedtime. As soon as their list was done,
they sat down for a good breakfast. They immediately noticed
(06:50):
that they felt more energized for a lot longer than
they had when they'd been eating sweet treats and drinking
juice boxes for breakfast. Then, instead of running off to
watch TV or play on the computer, they each read
a book while they rested in their rooms. They knew
the best thing for them to do was concentrate on
feeling better for their big race the next day. However,
they also knew a little exercise and fresh air would
(07:11):
be good for them too, so they did some yoga
with their mom in the backyard. Then, as Levi and
Ivy went through the rest of their day, they remember
to drink lots of water, which helps so much with
the headaches they had been having, and they noticed they
weren't feeling dizzy when they were moving around mom and dad.
This was a great day, said Levi as he and
Ivy enjoyed a tasty dinner with lots of veggies. I
(07:32):
feel so much better than I have for the last
few weeks, added Ivy, and it's all thanks to our
new healthy habits. I'm so happy you're both feeling better,
said Levi and Ivy's mom. Now, if you just keep
up with those healthy habits, you'll be feeling this good
every day. You'll have a lot more energy, be less
cranky and distracted, and you'll be able to focus more
(07:53):
on the things you love, which every once in a
while can be eating a sweet treat like a chocolate
bar or enjoying a juice box. But us not all
the time. Okay, at Levi and Ivy's dad. You got it,
said Levi and Ivy. Now, I think the best thing
to do next would be, sorry Levi and Ivy's mom,
to do something low energy before bed, like playing a
(08:15):
board game altogether, suggested Ivy. Then we'll get ready for bed,
make sure to get a good night's sleep because we
have an obstacle course to win. I mean, have fun
competing tomorrow, said Levi. Perfect, said Levi and Ivy's parents, together,
so proud of their kids and their new healthy habits.
After a fun board game, Levi and Ivy headed to
(08:36):
bed and got a great night's sleep. They woke up
the next day, Feeling full of energy and ready to go,
they ate a healthy breakfast and headed over to the
Neighborhood Olympics excited for a fun day. Don't forget your
water bottle, shouted Ivy to Levi as she walked out
the door. Thank you, Ivy, I got it right here,
answered Levi, holding up his knee on green water bottle. Great,
(08:59):
and mom, he gave me some fruit in this little
cooler that we can snack on, said Ivy. I'm really
excited for today, said Levi with a big smile. Me too,
exclaimed Ivy, happy as they walked out the door together.
Their parents had already left the house a few minutes before,
since they were helping set up for some of the
day's events. Once Levi and Ivy arrived at the Neighborhood Olympics,
(09:20):
it didn't take them long to find their mom and
dad as they ran right over to say hello. Have
a great day, kids, said Levi and Ivy's dad as
he gave them both the big hut. We'll be running
around all day, so you're in charge of keeping up
with all your good habits. But don't worry, we'll be
right here at the end of the obstacle course race,
cheering you on when it happens, added Levi and Ivy's mom.
(09:46):
Levi and Ivy smiled and ran off to meet up
with their friends and start the Neighborhood Olympics. The day
was a total success and so much fun, with the
obstacle course race as always being the last event because
it was the biggest at the Neighborhood Olympics. Levi and
Ivy he had been having so much fun and felt
wonderful going into the obstacle course race because they had
practiced all their healthy habits that day. They were snacking
(10:08):
on good food, staying hydrated, and resting in between other events.
How fun, Levi called out Ivy as she took her
mark on the starting line of the race. You two, Ivy,
answered Levi as he ran off to take his mark.
At the switch off point of the race, the entire
neighborhood crowded around to watch the big final event, and
with the countdown from three, the obstacle course race began.
(10:32):
Then Levi raced through the course was super speed, making
it look easy. But more important than that, they were
simply having fun. They tackled the monkey bar maze, the bike,
wheelie ride, the spinning run, the Hulu hoop, backyard hawk,
the hippity hobbity hurdles, the rope jump, the football toss,
the whacky walk, the balance being bonanza, the hiking hops gotch,
the rock and roll ring toss, and even the curvy
(10:54):
cone circus was no problem at all. They were out
ahead of everyone else competing in the race, but they
didn't even notice because they were having so much fun.
And when Levi crossed the finish line, making he and
Ivy the Obstacle Course race winners again, he and his
sister ran right over to his parents congratulations, called that
Levi and Ivy's mom and dad giving their kids a
(11:16):
big hug. We're so proud of you. Well, we owe
it all to you, said Levi. Thanks for teaching us
that healthy habits and a good daily routine makes such
a difference in how we feel and how we act,
added Ivy with a huge smile. And from that day on,
Levi and Ivy always practice healthy habits and a good
daily routine. They realized that adding those healthy habits into
(11:38):
their lives wasn't just smart, but making those little changes
allowed them to do more of the things they loved
with a full energy and a positive attitude and some
sweet treats every once in a while. Thanks for joining
