Lol, you worry too much. There are many people who don't work out at all and theyre fine. Muscle atrophied come from not use of a particular muscle for years. you move em everyday

Not only should you not worry about taking a week off, you should make it a point to take a week off every 3-4 months, to prevent over-training. 1 week won't hurt you, you'll find out you have more energy during the first workout back than you did did before your break.
