please don't turn this forum into a place where people ignorant of all of the circumstantial information bicker because they think they have the world's best advice. I'm 23 as well, and a college student that drives an hour each way to school, sometimes the monotony of work or school gets to me and gets me in a lazy slump, especially when I have exams coming up. Generally my slump only lasts for 4 days to a week, I started living alone about 2 months ago and notice when I eat poorly these slumps occur more frequently. What I do to get out of them is make a large salad, not just lettuce, give it color for more vitamins. red and orange bell peppers, onions, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots hot banana peppers, olives, croutons, some shredded cheese and a big chunk of nice warm grilled chicken with balsamic vignette, and squeeze a half a lemon on top for vitamin C. Toast up a nice piece of bread wth a little butter for your carbs and if you don't want to go for a ride later that day then go see a dr. from your post it sounds like you have one route that you do when you ride, don't do that. mix up your routes so you have something to look forward to, a change of scenery, if you're doing 30+ miles you should be able to find different routes. hope that helps
