Slow recovery after gym

Hi all looking for some suggestions on this. I started up in the Gym 3 months about and all is going well, feeling the benefits, weight slowly coming off, however I am having a small problem with recovery after a session. Esentially if I go to the gym on a Monday and then go back on a Wednesday my legs are like lead and I'm quite sluggish.

Now I'm (at least I feel) be no means over doing it, cardio wise my typical routine and the moment is 20 min on the cross trainer followed by 20 minutes bike and then back to the cross trainer for another 10-15 min. Weights wise I don't really work out my legs just upper body at the moment so I'd assume that is not the problem.

Food wise, I can still be a little bad, a bar of chocolate here or there but after the gym I'm usually going to have something along the lines of pasta and tuna steaks

Any tips on how I can get some pep back into my legs for the "wednesday" session
