overdoing
Taking too far
Overdoing is doing something to excess or beyond what's appropriate.
You can overdo exercise and injure yourself, overdo apologies until they lose meaning, or overdo decorations until a room looks cluttered.
I think we overdid it with the garlic.
To overdo it also means to exhaust yourself through too much effort: Take a break—you don't want to overdo it.
