Again...open mind here. Just going to see how the body adapts a bit, as much for self experimentation as anything else.

Maybe a mental placebo affect. But Monday workout was great. Yesterday felt sluggish. Today it was like I had no juice...and a ton of muscle soreness.

I ate an entire container of zero fat unflavored greek yogurt this afternoon and it seems to be helping. When I started looking for vegetarian protein sources, everything points initially to soy - which I am avoiding as much as possible. Never had quinoa before but its on the sample plate for tonight.
