The short answer is Yes. If you reject the null hypothesis based on that
p-value, then by definition you had enough power to do that. This is
because there is a precise inverse relationship between the p-value and
the "observed" power, once you fix the effect size and the sample
size.
In other words, your post-hoc power analysis would be a simple
re-statement of the p-value. There is no extra information that can be
gained from such an analysis. See:
The American Statistician, February 2001, Vol. 55, No. 1, pp 19-24
Don't bother with your power analysis, unless you are planning a new
experiment.
