I felt lack of exercise so I was determined to have started exercise this morning.
I felt lack of exercise so I determined to have started exercise this morning.
I really don't know the exact usage of these two phrases:
Why? I was determined
Is it okay to use only the simple past "determined" without was?
How about the difference between
I exhausted
and
I was exhausted
Could you tell me the meaning?

(Overlapped with Vorpar's reply.)
"I determined (to do sth)" means that you decided to do that thing. This pattern has a formal or official feel and is mostly used in written English.
"I was determined (to do sth)" means that you were fully resolved or committed to doing that thing, even in the face of obstacles or setbacks. This pattern is more common in everyday English.
