Crepe Myrtle Pruning

I think I may have trimmed my Crepes too late. I did it two weeks ago. There was no new growth on them at the time, but now I see other Crepes sprouting leaves. But mine have no signs of new growth or buds. I did cut them back pretty far. A couple of feet off the top. Did I wait too late and, if so, what will happen?
