Finally found time to get back in the Gym

The past few months have been extremely busy with preparation for our beta release, so I've been missing the gym a lot. It's been about 3 weeks since I was at the gym, and even then I was still pretty out of shape.
It's always depressing when you go to the gym after letting yourself get out shape. Lie down to bench what used to be a warm-up and all of a sudden it's a little bit of a struggle. You know not to even attempt what used to be your max, because your spotter will most likely have to help you more than he/she had expected. Getting back in shape is one of the most annoying things because you're doing tons of work just to get back to where you were half a year ago. It's not the same as when you're pushing to shoulder press more weight than you've ever done before or trying a new ab workout because you can't think of any other way to target your 8-pack.
Anyway, I started with chest, as I usually do when I first get back into the gym because it's my favorite. So today my chest is real soar, which is nice because I know I got a good work yesterday. It usually isn't hard to get soar first day back. I'm hoping I can keep up with going about 4 - 5 times a week like I used to. Anyone have any good advice for dealing with the mental frustration of working hard just to get back to what you used to be?
