Help phone using too much data?

Earlier today I got a message from AT&T warning me I've used 90% of my data. I have the 2GB data plan. I checked how many days I had left in my billing cycle and it's only been 4 days since my billing cycle started!
Normally, I don't ever go over half of my plan, and I haven't been using it more than usual. I haven't bought any new apps either.
Here's the apps I've downloaded:
Tumblr, Days Left Widget, Twitter, Foursquare, Alchemy, SwiftKey X, and Pinterest.
I frequently exit all my active applications using the Program Monitor widget.
Is there any way I can see my data usage or somehow figure out whats been using my data?
 
The stock weather widget apparently updates too much and uses a lot of bandwidth, check your widget refresh intervals. Tumblr uses a lot of data if you constantly refreshing the pictures though.
 
also, consider getting the "data switch" widget. once you turn it off, android can't run any data in the back ground.. and it's a widget, so very convenient to turn on/off.
