Wow, I used to think the same but mine got way better too.

Have you caught yourself parking farther away just to hit your step goal? I did the same thing with a cheap pedometer last year. It turns seeing a low number into a little challenge to move more. Setting a daily target, even a small one, makes a big difference. The key is just having that reminder on you all the time.

Hah, classic cable fail! I totally did that at a buddy's open mic night, tripped on the extension cord and killed the power. The whole place went silent for a second before everyone cracked up.
