looking for creative ideas

ok, so this is going to sound like a sob story, and i'm sorry. that's not what i'm going for. i just would appreciate a few creative and helpful tips on how others might have dealt with a similar issue.

i've been on MFP since january, and lost 44 lbs. then because of personal family reasons, my hubby and i and our 17 month old daughter had to move in with my in-laws (my husband's parents) on the other side of the country. and now i've gained back 5 in the 3 weeks we've been here. in utah (where we lived before coming to PA), I had lots of work-out buddies and friends who'd help me reach my goals through either encouragement or babysitting my daughter to i could workout. we also lived in a basement apt. so i could do my workouts in the next room over during naptime and not worry about making too much noise from jumping around and the house shaking etc. my hubby was at home at nights and worked days, and he would often watch her in the evenings so i could go to a zumba or water aerobics class or something similar at the local university that i had a gym pass for.

but now we are at my in-laws and i haven't quite been able to manage things that same way. our bedroom is in the basement, but all the living happens upstairs. (and grandma lives in the basement apartment). i haven't found something that i'm used to or know how to do while my daughter is awake-- i'm usually playing with her or managing the house while she is awake. and when she's asleep, i'm the only one home, so i can't leave. and since she sleeps in the basment, and the house shakes just by walking upstairs, it's near impossible to do a workout video while she's sleeping downstairs since she just wakes up and cries if i try to do that. in fact, i have to limit most movement and tip toe upstairs so i don't wake her up during valuable nap time (so i usually read, check email, make phone calls, and eat lunch during this time).

my father-in-law (dad from now on) works and is gone from about 6am to 4 or 5pm, and his evenings are unpredictable with activities-- he records stats for the local hs football team, referees for basketball, is a boy scout troop leader, etc etc-- you get the picture, he's busy and not around a ton. my mother-in-law (mom from now on) is a school teacher and teaches voice lessons in the evening at home in the living room; each night is different, sometimes there is one lesson right after school, sometimes there are lessons from 4pm to 9pm, and during these times i need to make sure that my 17 month old doesn't interrupt the lessons, or me either. my sister-in-law has a crazy work schedule and it's never consistent, and she has trouble dealing with kids because of some personal issues. she likes to suggest that we go jogging together in the mornings when she doesn't work the early morning shift, but every time i get up, she's asleep and says she doesn't feel like going (and i can't go by myself because our car decided to break down a week after we moved here, and she would need to drive us to the track which is about 4 or 5 miles away). my hubby is looking for a job, so any time he IS home, and not out at an interview, i ask him to take care of our daughter so i can work out i get a response like the following, "sure, but that means i have to stop looking for a new job," or something similar that i feel guilty about.

i feel really frustrated that everyone's schedules are so inconsistent from day to day and week to week. since we are living on mom and dad's charity in the basement, we're not asking for money for luxuries like zumba class, water aerobics, etc. mom has asked that we use the exercise resources we have at home-- dvds, and wii games like zumba and just dance-- because those are free. which i totally understand. but when can i use them?! not when i'm home alone with my daughter, because she's either awake and under foot and i don't want to hurt her. and not when she's asleep because this house creaks if you shift your weight and it wakes her up. not after "school hours" because mom is teaching voice in the living room where the tv is, and not after voice lessons are over because dad and/or sister want to watch their shows that they don't have any other time to watch. by the time i feel like i could, everyone is going to bed, it's midnight to 1 am, and i've lost all motivation to workout, and even if i felt like it, i'd be asked to stop moving so much because the house is loud and they need their sleep. i love my in-laws, they are sweet people, and i realize that i've come into their home and interrupted their routines. they have been super nice and made many sacrifices for my little family, so they just want to keep some things the same in their routines. i just haven't figured out how to fit my routine in yet.

so has anyone been in a similar situation. anyone have some creative ideas on how to get in a good workout considering the above situations. i don't want to make excuses. i'd just like some help with a new and fresh prespective since i seem to be stuck. thanks in advance! :-)
