You're not only healing but trying to build back reserves, and you don't have any reserves yet ... so your body doesn't have any spares to pull from. So ... might have overdone it, might have done just enough, but you still need some time to recover. It's okay. It gets better over time, slowly, and you WILL see improvement ... but you see it better in retrospect, when you realize you just aren't as tired as you used to be.
