I had something similar happen. I suspect that a habit, once built, just means that you continue in a particular routine without having to think about it, or try particularly hard - it's routine. But once you break that routine, you break the habit.
You said that you decided to take a break for a few days. ie. You chose to step out of the routine - it was no longer running. That means you have to reboot it from scratch again. Depending on the particular habit, that may be easier or harder than the first time around.
In summary: Be very, very cautious about 'taking a break' from a habit - it may not be there when you come back from your break!
