How to recover last commit after git hard reset?

Question

Can I recover the following commit after a hard reset?

Steps:

1) $ (master) // ....made a bunch of changes to files thinking I was working on a branch
2) $ git checkout -b 001-branch  // copy changes to a branch to work with
3) $ (001-branch) // make some more changes to files
4) $ (001-branch) git commit -a -m 'added and changed stuff'
// at this point I was just going to pull force master to latest then rebase my 001-branch off of original master (not the stuff I had modified)
5) $ (001-branch) git checkout master
6) $ (master) git reset --hard HEAD
7) $ (master) git pull
8) $ (master) git checkout 001-branch // go back to my branch and rebase my changes
9) $ (001-branch) // oops...my changes were all kiboshed and I don't see the commit I did per git lg

Any way out of this mess to recover my changes?

To see all the changes made to your 001-branch, you can do git reflog 001-branch, however, chances are what you think you did in 001-branch maybe you did another branch, so you probably need to look into all the changes with git reflog.
