If I shout into a breeze blowing straight at me, does my voice travel less distance then if I was to shout without a breeze?

Basically, yes. The speed of sound in a medium is always measured with respect to the medium itself! If you speak on a very windy day, then your voice will travel at different speeds *with respect to you* in different directions depending on the direction of the wind.

If you visualize the sound you produce by shouting as an expanding spherical wavefront, if there is no wind then this sphere expands with you at its center. If there is wind, the center of that sphere will move with the wind. So if you shout into the wind, by the time your voice reaches the same distance as on a still day, it will have spread out more and therefore it will be quieter!
