Most likely thing that happened when you turned on mobile data is that every app that uses background data "phoned home" and synced up because they'd been disconnected for some time. That could potentially chew up a chunk of your data allowance - you didn't say how much data you had available so I'm presuming it was relatively low.
If you're on an Android phone you can check which apps are using data, search the settings for "app data usage", from there you should be able to see which apps have used data in your current cycle and turn off the ones at the top of the list that you don't need.
