You can't get enough protein? What? They don't have food in Japan? Stop that fucking supplement shit and eat for real. Drink milk, eat fish products etc.
2x6 miles on a bike isn't anything to cry about. It's far below an hour at a leasurely pace, so that is no excuse. Concider it a warmup. You're American so you might be shocked to hear that it's not just the Japanese who ride bikes - we Europeans tend to take the bike to school/work everyday as well.

I don't like the feeling of being sore for over a week. I think it may be pretty bad for me. Plus Japan has no real vitamins, or Amino Acids. So I also tend to cramp a lot.
I would love to man up, but I would easily be sore for a month.  |
You just went from an average of 15 miles on the bike to AT LEAST 15 miles... what's up?
And if you get that sore from squatting you should probably start out with a lower weight and ease into it. Don't blow your muscles out because of pride or something like that.
Really, dude... What kind of talk is this?!?! Many of us get by without supplements and vitamin pills you know? I lift 3 times a week (squatting every time) and do martial arts 1-2 times a week and I get by... my secret?
I eat food. I wish I could add that I sleep, but I'm pretty lousy at that - it's said to be good for you when you lift though.
If you need your protein powder that badly, there's this thing called the internet... don't use that excuse as a crutch man...
