I'm still very unfit - the cycling I've done over the past couple of months is the only regular exercise I've done since I broke my ankle in 2002, work completely taking over my life for a while. Even so, I am completely surprising myself with what I'm doing ... I reckon that simply enjoying it is having more of a 'mind over matter' effect and I reckon I'm secretly getting a little fitter although I don't know it yet!
I started keeping a diary - write down how I feel after a ride, roughly how long it took, how far it was. Especially with commuting type rides, you can see quickly how your post-ride feeling changes within a few weeks.
