New Year is fast approaching, bringing with it the usual wave of guilt-induced resolutions that last about a week. Or is that just me? Well, if you're guilty of the same then this little list might help you narrow down 2011's resolution - and who knows, you might even stick to it!

 

Getting

Fit

 

If

shedding some pounds this New Year is top of your resolution list then check

out the recent ‘Getting fit in Chippenham’ article for

some hints and tips on how and where to get started.

 

If it’s diet your

focusing on, rather than exercise, then try one of Chippenham’s Weight Watchers

groups. They take place across the town, from Wood Lane, St Andrew’s Church

Hall or The Constitutional club and have a range of morning and evening

meetings.

 

Slimming World also

operates in Chippenham – meetings take place at Sheldon School, Pewsham Community

Centre and St Peter’s School.

Quit smoking

 

Another popular

resolution for many is to quit the fags. Well, there’s plenty of support for

you in Chippenham.

 

Wiltshire

NHS offer several Stop Smoking initiatives across the county and hold

regular clinics at Chippenham Hospital.

 

Your local doctor’s

surgery will also offer information on quitting and will guide you through a

step by step programme to help you become smoke-free.

 

Chippenham’s pharmacies

will also have information t help you quit. Try the chemists in Morrisons and Sainsbury’s,

both of which can help.

 

If you’re after

alternative treatment to quit then hypnotherapy or

acupuncture could be what you’re after.

 

New hobby?

 

If you’re already fit and

healthy then your New Year’s resolution is likely to be hobby-related. I’m

guilty of this too, every year I decide I’m going to learn a language of play

an instrument. So, luckily in Chippenham there are plenty of options to give

you some inspiration.

 

Try Wiltshire

College in Chippenham for a start. They offer plenty of courses from

photography to French.

 

What about theatre? Try

your hand at acting, singing, stage design, etc with CLOGS

theatre group. Members are welcome from age 14 upwards.
