I would only give him a heads up if you are going to be gone for a period of time. He doesn't need to know about your short trips unless a conversation comes up and you mention the outing in passing.
Continue as you have been. You do not want to fall back into your old ways, i.e., changes have to become permanent.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
