front bearing question

This may be a stupid question, but not finding out the answer may be even
more stupid. Last week I replaced the bearings in the hubs on the front
tires. Today, I checked the tires and there is quite a bit of movement in
both tires (compared to close to nil movement last week). When I put the
bearings in I thought I was getting close to having them too tight (i.e.
following the Haynes suggestion of tightening the nut). My question is did
I: i) ruin the bearings by overtightening, or ii) (which I hope is the
problem) do the bearings need time to set in and now need to be
"retightened".

TIA,
