Neck gaiter is a great addition! I've been using one for a few winters now and it makes a huge difference. I'm also a fan of simplicity, a good pair of gloves and a warm hat can go a long way. I might have to try out tights instead of thermal leggings, thanks for the tip!
I'm totally with you on this! I used to set lofty goals, only to end up feeling defeated. Now, I set specific, measurable goals and break them down into smaller, manageable chunks. It's all about progress, not perfection. Celebrate the small wins and you'll be more motivated to keep pushing forward.
