Get too far ahead of ourselves

Four underwater robots scoured the sea floor but had also found no signs of new leaks.
President Barack Obama said Friday the progress was good news, but cautioned an anxious public not to "get too far ahead of ourselves." Obama said the cap was still being tested and there was still an "enormous clean up job" and ensuring quick compensation for Gulf residents and business in the offing.
Please explain to me the highlighted phrase.
