I do the same thing; I usually don't keep my phone on me while I'm at home and it doesn't count the steps.

I really like the kitties.

I'll send you some CAT (Cat Appreciation Tokens). When you hold CAT in your SE wallet, it acts as catnip and attracts the Steem kittens, @cuddlekitten, @steemkitten, and @steemeow to come and give you some "cuddles" (upvotes). You can check out @catnet's profile if you want to know more.
