git-checkout

The following was the status of my repo.

[~/rails_apps/jekyll_apps/nepalonrails (design)?] ? gst
# On branch design
# Changed but not updated:
#   (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#   modified:   _layouts/default.html
#   deleted:    _site/blog/2010/04/07/welcome-to-niraj-blog/index.html

#   deleted:    _site/static/css/style.css
#   deleted:    _site/static/css/syntax.css
#   modified:   static/css/style.css
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

Accedently, I did git checkout -f and now the changes are gone which I wasnt supposed to do.

[~/rails_apps/jekyll_apps/nepalonrails (design)?] ? git co -f
[~/rails_apps/jekyll_apps/nepalonrails (design)] ? gst
# On branch design
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
[~/rails_apps/jekyll_apps/nepalonrails (design)] ?

Can I get back the changes back?
